It means the network routing tables on the console server are such that the it cannot find route to the IP address that cons01.fqdn.com resolves to.

You should be able to confirm this on the command line by first resolving cons01.fqdn.com and then trying to ping it. A 'netstat -nr' will show you the routing tables.

I'm assuming that 'cons01.fqdn.com' isn't really what's in your conserver.cf. If it is, that's likely your problem and you'd need to replace it with the host name or IP address of your Cyclades box.

Jason is on the right track. As a Best Practice, my Conserver hosts use
an /etc/host file, with all of my console servers (and other infrastructure
listed)., and my resolv.conf file prefers the local file to network
resources. (I do this, because I want this box to be one of the first
things I bring up, along with console servers, *before* I start bringing of
infrastructure switches and servers, so that I can log their startups.)

Try nslookup for your console server names... if that fails, conserver
won't be able to talk to them.

Best regards,

Thanks Z and Jason, there turned out to be a switching problem that prevented the server from reaching the console device. DNS was all good though.
ThanksBrandon

I am not sure if this is something internal to related to the application or if it has to do with DNS or something along those lines.
Here is my http://conserver.cf"]conserver.cf
default cyclades { type host; portbase 7000; portinc 1; }
break 1 { string "\z"; }break 2 { string "\r\d~\d^b"; delay 600; }break 3 { string "#."; }break 4 { string "+\d+\d+"; delay 300; }break 5 { string "\033c"; }
default * {logfile /var/log/consoles/&;timestamp 1hab;rw *;include full;master localhost;}
default cons01 {include cyclades;host http://cons01.fqdn.com"] cons01.fqdn.com;}
console trfw01a { include cons01; port 2; }

access * { trusted 127.0.0.1; allowed http://10.0.0.0/8"]10.0.0.0/8;}
