Bind expanding domain query using search path?

[Erik Enge]

Hi.

I have two domains; office1.co office2.co

I have two machines; machine1 (in office1.co) machine2 (in office2.co)

I'm running RedHat 7.2 (x86) and bind 9.2.1.

Everything seems to be working as it should, but I have a question of
whether or not I can make this work:

  dig machine1

At the moment, it gives this output:

  eenge at eenge:~$ dig machine1

  ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> machine1
  ;; global options:  printcmd
  ;; Got answer:

It would be great if it (bind) could try
machine1.[office1.co,office2.co] before going to the root-servers.

Is there a way I can do this?  I understand there would be stupidity
happening if I rename machine2 in office2.co to machine1.q

Thanks,

Erik.
