subdomain question

[Tony OGER]

Thanks for your answer Kevin, but in my question body , i have 
write 2 cas (1 with shot name, and 1 with fully qualified domain name)

On the principal name server pluton, i have this /etc/resolv.conf file :
	domain ib.e-laser.fr
	nameserver 192.168.1.201

and when i try with fully qualified domain names, it doesn't works too.
but thanks for the advice.

root at pluton../ib.e-laser.fr$ nslookup
Default Server:  pluton.ib.e-laser.fr
Address:  192.168.1.201

> orion.run.ib.e-laser.fr.
Server:  pluton.ib.e-laser.fr
Address:  192.168.1.201

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    orion.run.ib.e-laser.fr
Address:  192.168.1.203

> venus.run.ib.e-laser.fr.
Server:  pluton.ib.e-laser.fr
Address:  192.168.1.201

*** pluton.ib.e-laser.fr can't find venus.run.ib.e-laser.fr.: Non-existent host/
domain
> venus.run.ib.e-laser.fr
Server:  pluton.ib.e-laser.fr
Address:  192.168.1.201

*** pluton.ib.e-laser.fr can't find venus.run.ib.e-laser.fr: Non-existent host/d
