domain.com.domain.com being looked up for local names?

[Michael Voight]

How exactly did you do the lookup?
Did you use nslookup? Nslookup will always append the domain name to
what ever you enter if there is no ending dot. Try the same lookup and
put a trailing dot. NOTE: This is an nslookup oddity, not how standard
lookups are performed for telnet, etc
