Jan,
The problem may be the "domain" directive in your /etc/resolv.conf. You
might want to replace it with the "search" directive instead. From chap.
16.8 (BIND client issues) in Nemeth, et al _Unix System Administration
Handbook (2nd ed.)_ (a.k.a. "the red book"):
"Earlier versions of BIND used the domain directive in resolv.conf instead
of the search directive. RFC1535 strongly recommends replacing domain with
search, and current resolvers try only the domains listed in the search
list."
Good luck,
