DNS client nslookup

[ponetguy2]

Hello,

I just got done setting up a DNS server and a client. However, when I do an nslookup with just the hostname, I got this output:

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
(C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\dev9>nslookup dev9
Server: webdev.testsurgemail.com
Address: 192.168.1.2

Name: dev9.

C:\Documents and Settings\dev9>nslookup dev9.testsurgemail.com
Server: webdev.testsurgemail.com
Address: 192.168.1.2

Name: dev9.testsurgemail.com
Addresses: 192.168.1.112, 192.168.1.1


C:\Documents and Settings\dev9>

When I do an nslookup with a FQDN, I get this output:

C:\Documents and Settings\dev9>nslookup dev9.testsurgemail.com
Server: webdev.testsurgemail.com
Address: 192.168.1.2

Name: dev9.testsurgemail.com
Addresses: 192.168.1.112, 192.168.1.1


C:\Documents and Settings\dev9>

Is there something wrong here? If so, please point me to the right direction.

Thank you

I think you forgot to set a domainname in /etc/resolv.conf. With the unqualied request, it is simply asking the root nameservers the configured NS records for dev9.
