That's not it (if I understood it correctly). What we are after is domain search functionality, that is we if a DNS query fails the DNS resolver would need to to expand the query with the domain. Here's a simplified example where domain search contains 'example.com': -> DNS query server1. <- no answer -> DNS query server1.example.com1. <- server1.example.com1 is at 123.122.121.120 -- Kalle Valo
