> I find the DNS search domain expanding logic of ATS a bit strange. On a system with multiple search domains in /etc/resolv.conf such as
> {noformat}
> search cisco.com google.com
> {noformat}
> and proxy.config.dns.search_default_domains set to 1, if ATS tries to lookup a hostname say 'developers', it will expand it to 'developers.cisco.com' first and then 'developers.cisco.com.google.com'. In other words, the next search domain will just get appended to the already expanded name. In this instance, it will end up failing as both 'developers.cisco.com' and 'developers.cisco.com.google.com' are not resolvable.
> I would expect ATS to lookup 'developers.cisco.com' first and then try 'developers.google.com' which will success.
> I have a quick look at the code and it seems like it has been that way since Oct 2009 at least. Could someone comment on whether this is intentional or it's actually a bug. I find most other dns clients (e.g., nslookup) append search domain in turn to the original name rather than work this way.
