Hello,

Our local name server reacts to questions about hostnames without
domains in _his own subdowmain_ with the complete FQDN.

FreeBSD does not evaluate such answers:
- the application in question gets some kind of error code
- a console message ist displayed telling the request and the received answer

Is there anything I can do about that ? I seem to remeber that this worked in
1.1...

Regards

Christoph Weber-Fahr
