That is I have two search domains such as ex1.com and ex2.net and I typed short name "ralph" for nslookup or host it would give me "ralph.ex1.com" IP if it existed or "ralph.ex2.net" if the ralph.ex1.com didn't exist and the latter did.   Now what I'm seeing is even if I specify "ralph.ex1.com" it is looking up and failing on "ralph.ex1.com.ex2.net".

Without the final explicit "." your name is not fully qualified.
