Someone registered nz.gen.nz and that bit me on OS X for years. As far as I recall, if /etc/resolv.conf has "domain X.Y.Z", then OS X search through each parent sub domain in turn (the way that RFC says not to).
I was under the impression that OS X uses the BIND9 libresolv to provide the DNS functionality of its lookup service.
If /etc/resolv.conf contains a "search" line instead, then it just goes through the search list as specified.
So how is this different to any other libresolv-based *ix? Joe
