Jamie - thanks for spotting that typo. I've changed it and although the
empty 'search' is still in /etc/resolv.conf everything does now work
fine (and note that both MacOS and XP had worked fine with .42 or .43!):

DEBIAN BOX:
michael@manchester-campaigns:~$ less /etc/resolv.conf
search
nameserver 158.152.1.58
nameserver 158.152.1.43
michael@manchester-campaigns:~$ nslookup www.bbc.co.uk
Server:         158.152.1.43
Address:        158.152.1.43#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.bbc.co.uk   canonical name = www.bbc.net.uk.
Name:   www.bbc.net.uk
