Here's my scenario.
Internal ( non-internet ) resolvable domains.
Top level domain is nb.com
subdomains are nc.nb.com, il.nb.com, tx.nb.com, etc. for all states.
In hosts in the il region our resolv.conf file has a search line for
il.nb.com and nb.com
if i look for a host in the nc.nb.com domain using the FQDN
(host1.nc.nb.com) it looks up fine. If I do the same lookup as "nslookup
host1.nc" I get a "Server failed" message. An "nslookup -d2 host1.nc" shows
that it tries to lookup host1.nc.il.nb.com, which I would expect, and, of
course, never finds it. But that's where it stops searching. It never
tries to lookup host1.nc.nb.com ( which I would expect it to do based on my
"search" directive in my resolv.conf ). Any ideas or help is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks.
