Resolver Broken?

I have 3 searches in my resolv.conf but it the resolver seems to take no
notice of them. It will only allow me to use short names for my domain,
otherwise I have to use FQDN.

I have 3 machines linked by ppp:

Machine 1:
  Domain: winona.radnet
  IP Net: 10.10.0.0
Machine 2:
  Domain: dax.radnet
  IP Net: 10.20.0.0
Machine 3:
  Domain: parham.radnet
  IP Net: 10.30.0.0

Each machine is running named and is a primary server for its
subnet/subdomain and a secondary server for the other 2. All the cache files
are being created OK but, for example, adding the line
"search winona.radnet dax.radnet parham.radnet"
to machine 1 in my resolv.conf doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference
as I have specify FQDN for all but names in the winona.radnet domain.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

BTW: If anyone needs to see config files for named let me know.

Any help much appreciated.
