[Madlug] ping & dig disagree on IP address

[John Heim]

I can't figure out why dig is giving me one IP address for a server and ping 
is going somewhere else. The IP for ldap1.johnheim.com was in the /etc/hosts 
file. But I took it out, saved the file, and re-ran ping. But ping is acting 
as if the line for ldap1 is still in /etc/hosts. I even tried rebooting and 
it still doesn't go to the right IP address.

# ping -c1 ldap1.johnheim.com
