I'm trying to configure the name server on this machine to be the server for its domain and one of its subdomains. I want to be able to telnet, ftp, etc. to machines in either domain by only specifing the host name and not the full domain name. (e.g. telnet zz, regardless if zz is in the top or subdomain.) The problem I'm having is that I can only get to one domain. If I don't use the 'resolv.conf' file, I can't get to the subdomain. If I use a 'resolv.conf' file and specify the domain as the sub, I can get to the subdomain but not the domain the name server is in. Also, 'nslookup' will resolve correctly for both domains when this file exists. I'm currently running named 4.8 under 4.3bsd. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong will be greatly appreciated. Here is a shortened version of a dump from named. The top domain is ASU.EDU and the subdomain is EAS.ASU.EDU., asuvax is the name server. Thanks- ... $ORIGIN EDU. ASU IN SOA asuvax.ASU.EDU. ...
