I don't think that configuration is enough.  There's some bug in
there.

OK.  I have:

/compat/linux/etc/host.conf:
order hosts, bind
multi on

/compat/linux/etc/resolv.conf:
domain lemis.com
nameserver freebie.lemis.com
nameserver allegro.lemis.com

When I start swrite3, I get:

=== root@freebie (/dev/ttyp3) /var/log 31 -> tcpdump -i lo0

It would appear that the messages from localhost belong there, though
I can't work out what they're doing, but it's equally obvious that
messages are being sent to the name server, and that it's replying.
More detailled examination shows that the data returned are correct.

Obviously this isn't a resolv.conf question: it's found out where to
send the requests, but it looks as if it can't interpret the results.
Later it goes on to look for freebie.lemis.com.lemis.com, a sure sign
that it didn't get the answer it wanted the first time round:
