SUMMARY: Bind 9 on Redhat 8

Hi Guys,

Thanks to everyone for their reply.  Special thanks to /dev/null :) Chris
Scheller, Neil Dombrowski and Caleb Jorden for their reply. Windows has a
similar option as the unix /etc/resolv.conf (search chamkila.org) under the
DNS option of the tcp/ip settings for the nic.. I set the "Append these DNS
suffixxes (in order):" option to my domain name and everything is working as
expected.. Again, thanks to everyone for their quick response.

Simran H.
