I recently configured named to act as a DNS server on my local network. The local network also has a Windows98 box (which has never had an explicitly assigned DNS Lookup address) and a Mac (whose DNS Lookup address I moved to second place AFTER my FreeBSD Box). I configured named to forward DNS requests that it couldn't resolv locally to the same DNS address that the Mac used to used ... Everything works except for one relatively minor change (that becomes more major each moment that it remains a mystery): Before I setup the local DNS server the Mac could retrieve a web address such as www.freebsd.org or www.yahoo.com just by typing in freebsd or yahoo, respectively. Now the Mac must type the full address. The windows box seems to be unaffected (since he was always typing the full address anyway) How do I regain that functionality for the MAC?
