You have a configuration error.  Unless you show us your configuration
there is nothing anyone can do.  Post copies of the zones *unmodified*
and /etc/resolv.conf as you are depending apon the search list there
to correctly qualify dell2.

Note named-chech{zone,conf} only determine if the zone/confuguration is 
ell formated.  They can't determine if is correct however.
