I have a few domains listed in my /etc/resolv.conf
There names which hapen to be on more then 1 domain (hosts
name.domain1.com name.domain2.edu, for example). When I try
to connect to name, I normally get name.domain2.edu, even if
domain2.edu is listed _after_ domain1.com in {subj}. Any way
to control the order, or this simply happens because nameser-
ver responds faster on domain2.edu (why? the machine itself
sits on domain1.com...)? Thank you!
