You probably want to use host myhost, that does use the resolv.conf
as the system normally would. And it works better than nslookup.<br>

By default dig only uses fully qualified domain names. "dig +search"
does what you want.

...but "dig +trace" behaves completely differently, searching for the
name from the root zone down and never touching the local resolver at
all, so this would have queried the root server even if you'd used a
FQDN.
