Package: bind9-host
Version: 1:9.2.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #169098

I'm having problems getting this to work on Sarge. As this bug states,
ping does the lookup correctly. From my resolv.conf:

search amazing-internet.net theclub.chelseaartsclub.com

Both host binaries from the host and bind9-host packages fail to find
hosts that live in the second domain only:

$ host -v joelaptop

If only theclub.chelseaartsclub.com is in the search list, everything
works.

Is there a known solution or workaround to this?

Thanks,
Ronny Adsetts
