It specifies that the default path for host name search is constructed from the local domain name. This was the case for earlier releases, but not for bind 4.9.7. (It is done when the domain name is set during an interactive session of nslookup, but that's probably ) >How-To-Repeat: % man resolv.conf >Fix: In /usr/src/share/man/man5/resolver.5, change the sentence starting with "The search list is normally determined from ...".
