I did a nslookup of the MX record to grab the dns servers for btopenworld.com and got the following:
> set type=mx
> btopenworld.com
Server: which1.mycom.com
Address: 10.140.16.20
btopenworld.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = stargate.btinternet.com
btopenworld.com preference = 20, mail exchanger = moongate.btinternet.com
btopenworld.com nameserver = dns1.btinternet.com
btopenworld.com nameserver = dns2.btinternet.com
dns1.btinternet.com internet address = 194.73.73.95
dns2.btinternet.com internet address = 194.73.73.94
I then set my server to dns1 and type to address
> server dns1.btinternet.com
Default Server: dns1.btinternet.com
Address: 194.73.73.95
> set type=a
> 217.37.41.254
Server: dns1.btinternet.com
Address: 194.73.73.95
Name: host217-37-41-254.in-addr.btopenworld.com
Address: 217.37.41.254
I believe the address is your system, not the DNS nameserver (unless you are running DNS on the server). Try setting your nameserver to 194.73.73.95. If that works, add a second nameserver of 194.73.73.94 (dns2).

2. SuSE
I want to have 7 search domains in my resolv.conf, but it seems to like only the first six.
I read somewhere that the OS will only recognize the first 6 (or the first 154 characters). Is that the case with SUSE 10?
thx
