Package: host
Version: 20000331-9
>From the 'man resolv.conf':
"search Search list for host-name lookup. [...] spaces or tabs
separating the names [...] limited to six domains with a total of 256
characters."
gadek:/home/gadek$ cat /etc/resolv.conf|grep search
search cs.mcgill.ca info.uqam.ca
gadek:/home/gadek$ host glue
glue.cs.mcgill.ca does not exist (Authoritative answer)
gadek:/home/gadek$ host glue.info.uqam.ca
glue.info.uqam.ca A 132.208.135.95
So 'host' does not search info.uqam.ca, BUT:
gadek:/home/gadek$ host ljh
ljh.cs.mcgill.ca A 132.206.3.122
>From 'man host':
" ...names and will be searched for in the domains listed in the search
or domain directive in /etc/resolv.conf."
BTW: bind9-host does not have this bug. Why do we actually need two
separate versions of this utility? The size of debs is only 70kB vs.
90kB (20kB diff compressed). The 20000331-9 suggests it might be
abondoned upstream, so maybe we could simply make 'bind9-host' replace
'host' and remove 'host' from the archive?
