Standard resolver algorithm. If the name you're trying to look up isn't 
found, the client resolver will tack on the default domain, or work 
through the search list. Trouble is, if you have a wildcard in one of 
those default or search domains, it'll match that and not go any 
further. That's what it looks like in your case. If you have no wildcard 
entry in domain2, then I have no idea what might be causing your problem.
