I've been following this discussion, mostly in the hopes that it would go away. :) However since the discussion keeps circling I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. 1. I think we're all in agreement that dot-terminated names (e.g., example.) should not be subject to search lists. I personally don't have any problems with any document mentioning that this is the expected behavior. 2. I think most of us agree that a bare label (no dots, e.g., example) will almost certainly be subject to a search list. My suggestion would be that the common behavior be described in a "here be dragons" format, without attempting to be proscriptive. 3. For hostnames with a dot (although not necessarily ending in a TLD, such as foo.example) I think it's reasonable to say that the desired behavior is to first try to look them up "as is" without applying a search list, and if that fails to then apply the search list; with the same caveat as above, descriptive language for this document instead of proscriptive. In regards to 3, let's say I have a domain, example.org. In my network I have various subdomains that represent various network segments, let's say foo, bar, and baz. Personally, I find it convenient to put 'example.com' in the search list for all of my hosts, and then type 'ssh host.bar' and go off on my merry way. Yes, I understand that in my simple example I could theoretically put all 3 subdomains in the search list. Now assume that my network isn't actually that simple ... hth, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
