This starts making much more sense once you run the "host" command
that hostinfo is a wrapper around:
[zacheiss@indian-burial-ground-pet-store] ~/dev/third/bind/bin/dig$ host -v nw12-rtr-1
Trying "nw12-rtr-1.MIT.EDU"
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
Trying "nw12-rtr-1"
Host nw12-rtr-1 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Received 103 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 3 ms
So the bug is that it gets back a response too large for a UDP
packet, retries with TCP, but doesn't append the default domain
correctly. This bug is fixed in BIND 9.2.2-rc1, and will submit the
patch that fixes it source-reviewers.
