You can't add those two records:  They're mutually exclusive.  The
first says that www.mydomain.com is an alias; the second makes it
a canonical domain name.  Choose one or the other.

> In my resolv.conf file I have
> 
> domain mydomain.com
> search mydomain.com otherdomain.com.au

Likewise, the resolv.conf file's domain and search directives are
mutually exclusive.
