Unable to connect via SSH to target server using hostname but this works using the IP address (4333689)

User can connect using the IP address of the target server using following command: 

ssh username@x.x.x.x@spsappliance.domain.local 

but when trying to connect using the target server hostname, such as the following it fails:

ssh username@serverhostname.domain.local@spsappliance.domain.local

- The error below is received:

<<< Received disconnect from y.y.y.y port 22:2: Could not resolve hostname or failed to connect to remote host;

host='serverhostname.domain.local, port='22' Disconnected from y.y.y.y port 22

The hostname is resolved correctly by DNS on the client side using the command $ host serverhostname.domain.local

RESOLUTION:

- Make sure the correct DNS servers are defined in SPS under and that these DNS Servers can resolve the hostname in question:

Basic Settings > Network > Naming > Primary DNS server | Secondary DNS server
