Yes, every nonexistent domain name is evaluated to <no such domain>.<my
domain> which then resolves to my public IP (it is a wildcard dns record
in action I think). That explains why domain name with trailing dot
wasn't glued with my domain (two dots in FQDN are nonsense). I have no
such behavior on Debian box without serach line explicitly set in
/etc/resolve.conf. I also checked that on Windows boxes just to be sure
it isn't DNS config related issue. I'm not suspecting wrong DNS
configuration. I'm close to begin investigation of source code of
libbind package because grepping over my file system didn't return
anything related to configuration of resolver that might be useful.
