nslookup / resolver behaviour, appending domains?

Hi,

If I have:

"
domains      test.com  pleasant.com  something.com
nameserver   192.168.0.1
"

In my /etc/resolv.conf,

When I do:

nslookup -type=any something-not-existing.com

Named does lookups for:

something-not-existing.com/ANY/IN
something-not-existing.com.test.com/ANY/IN
something-not-existing.com.pleasant.com/ANY/IN
something-not-existing.com.something.com/ANY/IN


Apart from removing the offending domains from /etc/resolv.conf - Is there
anyway of disabling this behaviour? - So that nslookup/named will _only_ try
the domain name I provided, and not try appending the domains in
/etc/resolv.conf to it in turn?

I'm using Bind 8.2.2-P5,

Thanks,

-Karl Pielorz
