'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
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 60864
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;dc3.                          IN      A

;; Query time: 0 msec

;; WHEN: Thu Feb 25 17:19:03 2010
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 22
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

Hi,

By default dig ignores the search/domain directive in /etc/resolv.conf. If you want to use it add "+search" option in your command:
Code:
dig dc3 +se
Regards
