My DNS appears to append?

[pwolfe at qred.quintiles.com]

I have a similar problem only different domains fail for me.

Have you tried 'DiG' to resove the domains?

If not, give this a go and see if they resolve. If they do, it's probably your
resolver that is the problem and not your named server itself. Upgrade your BIND
to 8.2.2 p5 and the resolver will be upgraded as well.

Anyone else have a better explaination and solution?

Actually I realize now that nslookup adds a . to the end of any query. The
problem now boils down to I can't resolve the domain afaw.af.mil from a
specific nameserver and apparently their nameservers
(ns01.afaw.af.mil, ns01...) cannot resolve mine (mtco.com)?
Any thoughts? Thanks.
