Reading from 'man 5 resolv.conf'
domain Local domain name. Most queries for names within this domain can
use short names relative to the local domain. If no
domain entry is present, the domain is determined from the local
host name returned by geth- ostname(); the domain part is taken
to be everything after the first `.'. Finally, if the host name
does not contain a domain part, the root domain is assumed.
search Search list for host-name lookup. The search list is
normally determined from the local domain name; by default, it
contains only the local domain name. This may be changed by
listing the desired domain search path following the search
keyword with spaces or tabs separating the names.
The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive. If more than
one instance of these keywords is present, the last instance wins.
Basically, you should be using 'search' instead of 'domain' ... you
may or may not want to list corbin.machturtle.com first, as well.
Let me know if that doesn't fix it.
