I have a null /etc/resolv.conf. So, the search order in my case should be "ucb.crimea.ua crimea.ua", right? 1) What happening when I try `nslookup xyz` is: > Oct 23 19:31:22 relay named[94]: XX /127.0.0.1/xyz.ucb.crimea.ua/A > Oct 23 19:31:22 relay named[94]: XX /127.0.0.1/xyz/A why there is no xyz.crimea.ua query after xyz.ucb.crimea.ua? 2) I have a local name db.fil02.ucb.crimea.ua What happening when I try `nslookup db.fil02` is: > Oct 23 19:33:31 relay named[94]: XX /127.0.0.1/db.fil02/A > Oct 23 19:33:48 relay named[94]: XX /127.0.0.1/db.fil02.ucb.crimea.ua/A why it is asks root servers first? Should I send PR? Thanks, -- Ruslan A. Ermilov System Administrator ru@ucb.crimea.ua United Commercial Bank +380-652-247647 Simferopol, Crimea 2426679 ICQ Network, UIN
