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...
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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 70690 ***
