domain.com.domain.com being looked up for local names?

[Mark_Andrews at isc.org]

	You need to upgrade the resolvers on you clients.  It looks
	like the client is applying the search list *first* and
	not last for qualified names.  Modern resolvers apply the
	seach list *after* trying a qualified name (contain a dot).

	Note the queries were:

		obiwan.shokk.com.shokk.com
		obiwan.shokk.com.

	See RFC 1535 for why the seach should be done this way.
