name resolution inconsistencies

[nucman]

Hi all, new to Sparky but somewhat know what I'm doing with linux. I installed the latest Sparky with KDE yesterday.

I run a local pi-hole with some custom *.local DNS entries. These work on every other device I have. But in the Konsole terminal both ping and ssh do not resolve. Nslookup and host do resolve. My DNS servers are properly populated in /etc/resolv.conf. I am using DHCP. I've exhausted what I know to troubleshoot, this is odd to me. What is going on??  Thanks

$ ping ntp.local
ping: ntp.local: Name or service not known

[07:27 PM]-[user@nuc11]-[~]-
$ nslookup ntp.local
Server:         192.168.40.5
Address:        192.168.40.5#53

Name:   ntp.local
Address: 192.168.40.190


[07:27 PM]-[user@nuc11]-[~]-
$ host ntp.local
ntp.local has address 192.168.40.190

[07:27 PM]-[user@nuc11]-[~]-
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

I guess I'll make this response instead of deleting in case anyone else deals with this.
