Try dropping the line:

domain domain.com

in /etc/resolv.conf

There is also something in the BIND book about search orders, I think
from memory they changed from BIND 4.8.3 to BIND 4.9 the order in which
lookups were performed, when adding the domain name listed in
resolv.conf.

You might also need to explicitly set the workstation domainname as
well.

HTH.
