I'm not sure.
I know that /etc/resolv.conf contains the following:
search flat.org
nameserver 10.0.0.1
which is correct AFAICS, as 10.0.0.1 is the DHCP and name server on our
network.
Someone was telling me last week how to do a verbose name lookup, so you could
see how the system was trying to resolve names, but I can't remember how. Does
this ring any bells with anyone?
