That shows that 'fs1' is resolvable by its short hostname & FQDN

FS1:

Make /etc/hostname look like this:

fs1

make /etc/hosts look like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost
::1         localhost
192.168.5.161   fs1.webb.local  fs1

DC2:

Make /etc/hostname look like this:

dc2

make /etc/hosts look like this:

#> cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost
::1         localhost
192.168.5.160 dc2.webb.local dc2

Now try again ;-)
