>Description:
The man page for resolver (5) is out of date. It specifies that the
default path for host name search is constructed from the local domain
name. This was the case for earlier releases, but not for bind
4.9.7. (It is done when the domain name is set during an interactive
session of nslookup, but that's probably )
>How-To-Repeat:
% man resolv.conf
>Fix:
In /usr/src/share/man/man5/resolver.5, change the sentence
starting with "The search list is normally determined from ...".
Patch follows.

The search list is normally determined from the local domain name;
! by default, it begins with the local domain name, then successive

This may be changed by listing the desired domain search path
following the
