So I've set public IP on the hosts file for a certain public IP address, but it picks up private ip from nowhere or from DNS.
Content of windows hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Hosts
210.210.210.10 my.domain.com
nslookup my.domain.com
10.10.10.10
10.10.10.11
10.10.10.12
I want it to resolve to Public IP i assigned in the file, instead of the private IP it shows when I lookup my.publicdomain.com.
Anyway to fix this? Has anyone experienced such issue? ipconfig /flushdns does not help. Just saying.

nslookup
does NOT usehosts
file but DNS.Try using
ping
instead and it will return the IP provided in yourhosts
file.Setup the ip for this domain in a real DNS Server.
