Package: dnsutils
Severity: normal
Version: 8.2.3
Synopsis: [addendum]error in parsing /etc/resolv.conf or wrong manpage
Class: sw-bug
Distribution: Debian 2.2
System: Linux 2.2.17 i686 unknown
Description:
There were mistake in the preceding bugreport:
in /etc/resolv.conf:
case 1:
search domain1 domain2
case 2:
search domain1
search domain2
---
in case 1: only domain1 is searched by the /usr/bin/host command
whereas domain1 AND domain2 are searched by the
nslookup command
in case 2: only domain2 is searched by the /usr/bin/host command
(despite what I stated in the last bug report)
and also by the nslookup command
According to the resolv.conf(5) manpage, only case 1 is syntaxically
correct
(thus case 2 was just a try to solve the problem) and should allow
to resolv host in both domains.
Cheers,
Sebastien Chaumat

Followup-For: Bug #95110
Package: host
Version: 20000331-3
Only the syntax 'search domain1 domain2 domain3 ...' is correct.
It was the wish of host's author to make host search only on fully
qualified domain names (and by extension, only on the 'domain' or
first 'search' domain of resolv.conf).
There is a documented option to the host command which allows you to
go through all the listed domains : -R.
Hope this solves your problem ...
