Question 970
Original unofficial RHEL 10 RHCSA skill-check scenario: A server can reach an IP directly but cannot resolve its service hostname after a DNS migration. Which observation best confirms the intended outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
In this RHEL 10 system administration case: A server can reach an IP directly but cannot resolve its service hostname after a DNS migration. Underlying reason: DNS failure and network route failure are separate diagnostic classes. The most direct, approved resolution is: Inspect `resolvectl` or connection resolver settings and configure the approved DNS servers. Confirm it by checking: The intended domain resolves and IP connectivity remains unchanged. Sustain the fix by: Test names and direct IP paths independently. This is the INTENDED response for the strongest objective verification result. It is a knowledge-check explanation, not a verified hands-on Red Hat exam answer;
Incorrect Answers
Short-name lookups resolve only to intended authorized domains. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because DNS failure and network route failure are separate diagnostic classes.
The intended rule appears in runtime and permanent listings after restart. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because DNS failure and network route failure are separate diagnostic classes.
`ip route` lists the intended default route and off-subnet tests succeed. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because DNS failure and network route failure are separate diagnostic classes.
