    Nonono; the other thing you do with commented lines :)

    You need the "domain berklix.org" (or a similar "search" line) for it
    to guess a domain for non-FQDN lookups. That'll tell it to check
    "flat.berklix.org" if it can't find "flat" (or the other order; I can
    never remember); otherwise how would it know what to try?
