Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.04 New install. 
Packages
apt:
  Installed: 0.7.9ubuntu17
  Candidate: 0.7.9ubuntu17
firefox:
  Installed: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3


Tested this with both BIND9 and WinDNS for the back-end

It seems that any domain that does not have a valid TLD will not resolve
properly for apt and web browsers. However it will return proper results
with dig and nslookup.

ex. myserver.domain.local, myserver.domain.something,
myserver.domain.coooom will all fail to resolve.


However... if you add your domain to your search domains in resolv.conf (or 
network manager) it will resolve by just machine name instead of FQDN.
