resolv.conf and host cmd (search domain issue)

[slakkie]

In my resolv.conf I have the following entries:


Code:
--------------------
    

  domain euronet.nl

  search euronet.nl wanadoo.nl hosting.euronet.nl it-dev-lan.euronet.nl sf6800.euronet.nl euro.net

  nameserver 194.134.0.97

  nameserver 194.134.5.5

  
--------------------




The resolv.conf is the same on another machine running FreeBSD.



Host on FreeBSD:




Code:
--------------------
    

  $ host -v netapp1-asd2.nl

  Trying null domain

  rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0

  Trying domain "euronet.nl"

  rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0

  Trying domain "wanadoo.nl"

  rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0

  Trying domain "hosting.euronet.nl"

  rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0

  Trying domain "it-dev-lan.euronet.nl"

  rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0

  Trying domain "sf6800.euronet.nl"

  rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0

  Trying domain "euro.net"

  rcode = 0 (Success), ancount=1

  The following answer is not authoritative:

  The following answer is not verified as authentic by the server:

  netapp1-asd2.nl.euro.net        86400 IN        A       10.0.23.96

  
--------------------




On my Ubuntu 6.x box:




Code:
--------------------
    

  $ host -v netapp1-asd2.nl

  Trying "netapp1-asd2.nl"

  Host netapp1-asd2.nl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

  Received 99 bytes from 194.134.0.97#53 in 6 ms

  
--------------------




In /etc/nsswitch.conf:




Code:
--------------------
    

  hosts:          files dns mdns

  
--------------------




Why does the host command on Ubuntu not respect the search domains
defined in /etc/resolv.conf?
