Why do I need a dot at the end of my lookup?

Hi List
I am having issues with my dns server adding a "int.domain.name" to the
end of each request.
See below:
Query was c:\nslookup www.cisco.com server.domain.name
A TCP dump on server shows:
Host.domain.name.1959 > server.domain.name.domain: 2+ A?
www.cisco.com.int.domain.name. (45) [tos 0x28]
10:56:53.125569 host.domain.name.1960 > server.domain.name.domain: 3+
A? www.cisco.com. (31) [tos 0x28]
10:56:53.126579 server.domain.name.domain > host.domain.name.1960: 3
1/2/0 A www.cisco.com (83) (DF)
This is causing a "dns request timeout: Timout was 2 seconds " error on
each lookup.
However, if you add a dot to the end of the query, the problem goes
away.
So I am assuming the server is trying to qualify each request, even
though it is qualified.
How do I rectify this?
I have googled but find nothing usefull (or that works)
Regards,
Tom
