On Sat, Dec 10, 2005 at 05:56:29PM +0100 I heard the voice of
Ruben Bloemgarten, and lo! it spake thus:
>

> When I ping from say server2 # ping jkhdsfkhdsafhjsahfdhksa.com I

> PING jkhdsfkhdsafhjsahfdhksa.com.mydomain2.com (ip.of.server.1): 56
> data bytes

The resolver always appends the "domain" or "search" params in trying
lookups.  Your problem is that mydomain2.com has a wildcard record
that is being returned for this.
