How the iSeries at 7.1 does it.
CFGTCP Option #12
Host Name = HHHHH
Domain name = xxxxx.yyyyyy.com
Domain search list = *DFT

Do ping to some name like just plain old BOB
The iSeries searches for BOB.XXXXX.YYYYYY.COM
If not found the iSeries searches for BOB.YYYYYY.COM
Per my client that 2nd search should not happen
Per IBM that is compliant with DNS standards
In this case it was causing issues and invalid address was being returned.

Da question fo any DNS GURU's Can you point me to and RFC or ??
That outlines the correct search method that a computer should do
per standards. I want to provide docs that prove that he DNS search
function
on the iSeries is working or not working correctly.

Thanks
