: Do you see how "who" tries to find what's the IP address of slip1.ven.ra.roc?
: named returns cname=0 that means that it didn't find anything. Then
: the resolver gethostbyname() function tries appending the local
: domain so it queries the name server with slip1.ven.ra.roc.ven.ra.rockwell.com
: which is also invalid (another cname=0 is returned.)

My mistake: cname=0 does not mean that the query did not return a valid
host name, it means that the result is not a cname (a nickname) of
the given host.

Any way, everything else applies and named is not finding a valid
host name...
