Last modified: 2013-04-30 19:48:28 EDT
Description of problem: Host and nslookup doesn't use all the domains in search directive in resolv.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-utils-9.7.2-5.P3.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a search directive in /etc/resolv.conf like this search domain1.com domain2.com 2. 3. Actual results: #host xpto Host xpto not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) #host xpto.domain2.com xpto.domain2.com has address 192.168.0.1 Expected results: #host xpto xpto has address 192.168.0.1 Additional info:
I'm not able to reproduce this issue. This is my /etc/resolv.conf: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager search atkac.brq.redhat.com englab.brq.redhat.com brq.redhat.com nameserver 10.34.24.36 There is DNS record called wiki.englab.brq.redhat.com and host utility resolves it correctly: $ host wiki wiki.englab.brq.redhat.com is an alias for wiki.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com. wiki.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com has address 10.34.32.209 Can you run host with "-D -d" parameters and attach output, please? Thank you in advance.
Since the report of the problem, the problem has been solved (don't know how).
