you need to understand what "search" does it is independent from dhcp or anything else cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 search rhsoft.net thelounge.net vmware.local test.rh if i type "hostname" ANY software tries to reslove it in exactly this order and a broser would send a host-header, for 99.9% of services it is enough to reslove the DNS name to a IP fpr http the server must have a serveralias without the domain to deliver the correct vhost ___________________________________ practical example: http://testserver/ -> i have done [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ ping testserver PING testserver.rhsoft.net (84.113.45.81) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from testserver.rhsoft.net (84.113.45.81): icmp_req=1 ttl=50 time=0.287 ms 64 bytes from testserver.rhsoft.net (84.113.45.81): icmp_req=2 ttl=50 time=0.215 ms why should i like to need permanently type a FQ path? :-)
