I'm having some difficulty using traceroute command using hostname as destination.
I am using VRF-lite on my router, the ping by hostname works fine for a particular VRF and
the traceroute by IP address also works fine.
But not traceroute by hostname, this is my problem.
Anyone ever use hostname/traceroute/vrf before? Any help would be appreciated.
Some info below, I've tried many combinations of commands, related to name resolution and vrf...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
abc#ping vrf prd xyz <----------------------------This works
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to x.x.x.x, timeout is 2 seconds:

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 60/62/64 ms

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
abc#clear host vrf prd * <-----------------did this to start clean in cached host entries
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
abc#traceroute vrf prd xyz <--------Does not work
Translating "xyz"...domain server (x.x.x.x) [OK] <--------Resolved to correct vrf/dns server
Translating "xyz"...domain server (255.255.255.255) <--------Why this second check? I'm not using global ip name-server.

abc#traceroute vrf prd x.x.x.x <---------------This works, same host but by IP.
