Not incidentally. Intentionally. It explicitly makes the resolver _not_ try to append the 'search ...' part from resolv.conf, should it not find a requested address. Try setting 'search whitehouse.gov' in /etc/resolv.conf and then try the following links: http://www/ = NSFW http://www./= SFW

Re: Install without the DNS domain name from DHCP
There are other free ones, but dyndns have been severely abused by all the cheap router manufacturers. Someone needs to pay the electric bill. And I believe the sysadmins like to eat every now and then. If you don't want to pay for it, then it is a want, not a need. -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity. -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.

Install without the DNS domain name from DHCP
Hello. I'm installing OpenBSD 5.0. When I configure the networking to DHCP it goes ahead and sets the DNS domain name to something that it got from my ISP. I would like to only use the short name that I specified as the hostname as the entire hostname excluding the rest of it that comes from my ISP. How do I do that? I've looked at the FAQ, especially http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#InstQuestions, but as far as I can understand it doesn't cover this. Thanks. - Josh
