This have nothing to do with bind. if you want to resolve only by name put the following line in '/etc/resolv.con': search <DOMAIN> when you make a dns query, you have to query for a fully-qualified-domain-name (that is: host.domain). when you query only for hostname, the client adds the domain from the 'search' entry in resolv.conf.
