Bug 97323 – resolver ignores "search" when it is listed before "domain" in resolv.conf

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description scott 2005-06-28 11:05:54 UTC]

On each boot, /etc/init.d/domainname overwrites my /etc/resolv.conf, changing from:

nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.5
domain my.domain.com
search my.domain.com myother.domain.com your.domain.com

to:

nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.5
search my.domain.com myother.domain.com your.domain.com
domain my.domain.com

When this happens, the resolver totally ignores the contents of the "search" line.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. reboot machine (or otherwise run /etc/init.d/domainname)
2. attempt to access host(.your.domain.com -- not using FQDN)  -- FAILURE
3. transpose the "search" and "domain" lines in /etc/resolv.conf
4. attempt to access host(.your.domain.com -- not using FQDN) -- SUCCESS
Actual Results:  
Failure to resolve host when "search" comes before "domain"

Expected Results:  
Host should've resolved.

Looks like it's a duplicate of bug 70690...

[Comment 2 scott 2005-06-28 15:12:00 UTC]

Dangit...  I have no idea why that didn't turn up when I searched.

This is, indeed, a duplicate of bug #70690.

I am closing it.
