if /etc/resolve.conf contains: search x.foo.com y.foo.com foo.com and the host bar.foo.com is searched for via `nslookup bar', the search fails. if the line is modified to: search x.foo.com y.foo.com foo.com bogus.com it works and resolves to `bar.foo.com'
I cannot duplicate this behavior: I've tried adding and deleting several different domain entries, inside and outside of my local domain. Are you sure you didn't have a typo in your domain entry?
Unable to duplicate this as well. As I would quote from the bind users-list "If you conceal the actual domain/machine names we cannot even begin to help you or duplicate the error" The normal accepted format for resolv.conf should be: domain foo.com search foo.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 192.168.1.2 Henri J.
