I had also previously set the domain with "domainname <my-domain-name>" but with no differing effect. I am missing something about how this all works, I suppose... K

I have a glitch, however. Both "nslookup" and "host" seem to be able to resolve short version names (e.g. 'name' for 'name.domain.net'), but "dig" does not return anything.
I believe those programs all go about doing name resolution slightly differently, but I would like to make sure things are set up in such a way that they all return the same answers, of course.
Any ideas where to start looking?
Dig does not use the "search" directive from /etc/resolv.conf unless specified on the command line. e.g.
dig +search hostname
If your not using the search directive in /etc/resolv.conf, then you can
always use
dig +domain=mydomain.com hostname
Type: man dig - for other dig related options
