I would expect the behavior in step #3 if the search or domain parameters are 
set in
/etc/resolv.conf.

They should both "No such name".    When the trailing . is added it is simply 
saying
that the host.domain-name is absolute and the value in search or domain should 
not be
applied.

What is more curious to me is why when you enter "ping furdishcamp.com" you are
getting the IP address of your system.  I think that is what you are saying.

FWIW, there isn't much value in obscuring IP addresses or domain names.
