A systems engineer deploys a new application server, but the server cannot communicate with the back-end database hostname. The engineer confirms that the application server can ping the database server's IP address. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?
If the application server can ping the database server by its IP address but not by its hostname, it indicates a DNS resolution issue. The most likely cause is incorrect DNS server configuration. The engineer should verify the DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf or the network configuration.
