Thanks for the explanation. This all works as advertised, not only in my domain but also with other domains I just tried. I guess I just hadn't noticed that difference before. Looks like things are actually working fine here now.
Thanks again, Ken

Here's the part I don't understand. "dig" works fine on other systems I have messed with, but not on mine.
Given the same 'name' to lookup? Both host and nslookup will use the search list in /etc/resolv.conf to find domain names. dig does not do this unless you use '+search'. On the systems where it works is the 'dig' you are using the standard one from the ISC BIND software?
dig will go to the root name servers initially because that is where it has to start the search for a name it knows nothing about.
