I'm getting some odd answers out of DNS.  For example:

narcissus:{/home/ben}% nslookup narcissus.ml.org
Server: brosenga.Pitzer.edu
Address: 134.173.120.201

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: org.ml.org
Address: 129.186.203.225
Aliases: narcissus.ml.org.ml.org

brosenga.pitzer.edu is the other name of my machine, that's just fine,
but the rest bothers me. If I append a . it works fine:

narcissus:{/home/ben}% nslookup narcissus.ml.org.
Server: brosenga.Pitzer.edu
Address: 134.173.120.201

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: narcissus.ml.org
Address: 134.173.120.201

I'm running named in its out of the box configuration. Narcissus.ml.org
is an alias provided for brosenga.pitzer.edu by ml.org. Umm . . .

narcissus:{/etc}% grep "ml.org" *
<cruft deleted>
hosts:127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.ml.org
hosts:134.173.120.201 narcissus.ml.org narcissus
sysconfig:hostname=narcissus.ml.org

Is there any other useful info I can provide? Thanks a bunch, I'm sure
it's something stupid I'm doing but I can't figure out what.
