Dns tries to qualify a domain not found by appending its domain

I have a Solaris box that when you try to do an nslookup on a domain, if it
can not find the domain then it appends it's own domain to the end of the
domain and then resolves it.
example
nslookup nonexistantdomain.com
answer nonexistantdomain.com.mydomain.com
               208.230.11.1

it resolves to my main domain because I have a record with an * in the
db.mydomain.com file to catch all nonexistant hostnames.

Any answers... please send email to lonie at mediaone.net -  greatly
appreciated
