Public bug reported:
Regardless of ndots option in /etc/resolv.conf, when NXDOMAIN is returned from
the DNS server then resolver always try another attempt with the original name
extended by what is in search option.
For example, if you're looking for very.long.url.nowhere and there is a line
"search ubuntu.com" in resolv.conf you will get addres of server
very.long.url.nowhere.ubuntu.com if such exists. It is incorrect, it should
occurs only for urls having less that ndots option dots in its name.
Experienced on Kubuntu 9.04 with linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic kernel package.
