I am running bind 8.2.2P5 on Sun solaris 7. What happens is that some of
the unix boxes in the network can not resolve the host names if not
entered with fully qualified domain name. Any idea what might be wrong?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Example

# nslookup
Default Server:  ashbury.babcockbrown.com

> bruce
Server:  ashbury.babcockbrown.com
Address:  10.16.5.1

*** ashbury.babcockbrown.com can't find bruce: Non-existent host/domain
> bruce.babcockbrown.com
Server:  ashbury.babcockbrown.com
Address:  10.16.5.1

Non-authoritative answer:
