DNS lookup fails connecting to server on same network

[Ryan Rix]

Hi,

/etc/resolv.conf is apparently using different nameservers primarily than I 
thought...

root at wanton:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain phnx.qwest.net
search phnx.qwest.net
nameserver 63.208.196.113
nameserver 63.208.196.114
nameserver 192.168.0.1
root at wanton:~# nslookup wanton.dyndns.org 63.208.196.113
Server:         63.208.196.113
Address:        63.208.196.113#53

** server can't find wanton.dyndns.org.phnx.qwest.net: REFUSED

root at wanton:~# nslookup wanton.dyndns.org 63.208.196.114
Server:         63.208.196.114
Address:        63.208.196.114#53

** server can't find wanton.dyndns.org.phnx.qwest.net: REFUSED


Which leads me to believe that I have.... sth wrong :) I have *no* idea why 
they are concatenated together like that....phnx.qwest.net seems to be the 
external dns, or the domain, but why it's appended to the host during 
nslookups is beyond me....

Where, in the browser/ssh/etc?
