# man resolv.conf
domain Local domain name. Most queries for names within this domain
can use short names relative to the local domain. If no
domain entry is present, the domain is determined from the
local host name returned by gethostname(3); the domain part
is taken to be everything after the first `.'. Finally, if
the host name does not contain a domain part, the root domain
is assumed.
so, since my hostname is inbox.org, the default domain is org. it seems
very unlikely that anyone would ever want this for a two part hostname.
shouldn't this be disabled as a default for those names (but still work
for those who explicitly add it)?
