LinuxQuestions.org - 'dig' resolving

Hi,

Code:



root@localshot:/etc/rc.d# host dc3

dc3.test.com has address 192.168.1.2

Code:

root@localhost# nslookup dc3

Server:        192.168.1.100

Address:        192.168.1.100#53



Name:  dc3.test.com

Address: 192.168.1.2

BUT

Code:

root@localhost:/etc/rc.d# dig dc3



; <<>> DiG 9.4.3-P3 <<>> dc3

Code:



cat /etc/resolv.conf

search test.com

nameserver 192.168.1.100

Why 'dig', could not resolve name to IP, whereas 'host' and 'nslookup' could...

tested on RHEL5 and Slackware 13
