Alternatively, if your DNS resolver is configured to expand
incomplete domains (see qualify_single and search_parents) or you have
set widen_domains in the lookuphost router, the router might be capable
of discovering for itself that an abbreviated domain is really a local
domain when fully expanded. When this happens it passes the domain back
to the directors. Experiment using the -bt option.
