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.
