LAN name configuration messed up

[stfaprc]

using RH and BIND9.2.1, the machine is the DNS server
the name of the domain is "ourlan.tld"

from the workstations things are fine. But from the server itself ...

when I do a
ping workstation

the resulting command is
PING workstation.ourlan

the result should have been computer.ourland.tld ,so tried
ping workstation.ourlan.tld

which resulted in
PING workstation.ourlan.tld.ourlan

the contents of resolve.conf is:
nameserver 192.168.1.5
search ourlan.tld ourlan
so, what is it that I messed up ?

First, check the query options for ourlan.tld. Do you have any allow-query statements? Since workstation works outside of the nameserver, that is where I would look first. Obviously, it is falling through to ourlan.

I dont think your issue is with resolv.conf but with BIND. What does your BIND config look like?

What are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network?
