DNS question: Finding just my domain

[Joel Hammer]

Well, that is what I did, eventually, to get it to resolve. I just assumed
that the DNS, having been configured as the master for mydomain.com,
would have been able to handle a mydomain.com request.

I am also surprised that my local DNS didn't refer  this request for
mydomain.com upstream, where mydomain.com is known to name servers on
the internet (although under a different IP number).

Live and learn!
