possible problem w/ 8.2.1

[Martin, Kevin]

I noticed that the 8.1 version of dig doesn't do that as well whereas the
8.1 version of nslookup DOES append the suffixes.  It appears that the 8.2
version of nslookup does the same thing as the 8.1 and 8.2 versions of dig.
Anyway, here's the info on "dig @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com" (using dig8.2):


../dig/dig @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com

Since "dig" doesn't append the suffixes listed in the "search" directive,
you have to do it yourself to test.  What does "dig @dns1
host.nc.il.nb.com" return?
