We have some recordings that monitor internal websites, which users access by host name only (not the fully qualified domain name). These transactions fail intermittently on the first step, the screenshot shows the page could not be loaded and the error "DNS Fail". They succeed about half the time, but fail a lot. This host name resolves on all workstations, they all have the same DNS suffix search list. When we logon to these locations and test, the host name resolves every time with nslookup, ping and internet explorer. The Recorder won't even let us Edit the URL to use the FQDN, but we could re-record it with the FQDN if needed. But this would not be monitoring a real scenario, I'd rather fix the problem. Any ideas?
