Is it possible you didn't start it as root ( sudo numa install)?
Does dig {mygivenname}.numa @127.0.0.1 return 127.0.0.1 ?
What OS are you on?
Maybe you report it as an issue?
Thanks for quick response. It started to work. I think it must be some caching issue. But it needs a trailing '/' . Maybe will raise the issue for this. Cool.
I believe that is actually browser specific behavior. I sometimes use a fake TLD for stuff hosted at home, and both chrome and firefox resort to search if I don't include a trailing '/'. My assumption is the browser does a quick match against known TLDs and if it doesn't match then it resorts to search.
