resolve.conf sortlist

Hello

I can't seem to get the "sortlist" directive to work as I would expect
on the /etc/resolv.conf file. I seem to have this problem with
everything I test with so far: RH Linux 6.0, 6.2, 7.0, and Irix 6.*.

My resolve.conf file looks like this:

   nameserver 10.6.19.15
   sortlist 10.11.192/255.255.255.0

My test hosts are: igor.lucasdigital.com  (10.6.11.205)
              and  frodo.lucasdigital.com (10.11.32.134)

Test cases:
-----
    % nslookup maple
    Server:  netsvr1.lucasdigital.com
    Address:  10.6.19.15

    Name:    maple.lucasdigital.com
    Addresses:  10.11.10.33, 10.11.192.37

-----
    % nslookup maple
    Server:  netsvr1.lucasdigital.com
    Address:  10.6.19.15

    Name:    maple.lucasdigital.com
    Addresses:  10.11.192.37, 10.11.10.33
-----

Why do the addresses still round-robbin?

Thanka for any insights,
