Further on this. Doing the forward and reverse lookups reveals this:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;133.201.62.95.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR
;; ANSWER SECTION:
133.201.62.95.in-addr.arpa. 106382 IN PTR
static-133-201-62-95.ipcom.comunitel.net.
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
62.95.in-addr.arpa. 106382 IN NS ns.ripe.net.
But no A record exists:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;static-133-201-62-95.ipcom.comunitel.net. IN A
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
ipcom.comunitel.net. 10800 IN SOA ns1.comunitel.net.
hostmaster.comunitel.net. 2015010200 86400 7200 2592000 172800
It seems to me the return value used by Postfix should be
static-133-201-62-95.ipcom.comunitel.net.
But instead Postfix appears to use:
static-133-201-62-95.ipcom.comunitel.net
Where the trailing root (dot) domain returned on the PRT RR is
ignored. I believe that it is this omission that leads to the
appending of the locally specified resolver search paths. Is this the
intended behaviour? If so then why?
