resolv.conf manage more than 6 domains

[JM Pouchoulon]

Helo,
I want to have more than 6 domains in a search directive in resolv.conf on a
4.1.5 AIX system.
I compiled bind 9.2 ( wich permits up to 8 domains ) and with the new host
command offered per bind 9.2, it works.
But with a simple ping on a host wich have domain  in the seventh place in
the search  directive , it fails.
I Think the new resolver library I compiled is not use by the system, but
only by bind 9.2 tool's.

Is there is another way to manage more than six domains in a search
directive ?
