When entering suffixes on the Setup > Network > DNS > Search Domains page on Connector Appliance running v6.1, only the first 6 search domains listed are used by the SmartConnectors for DNS resolution.
Any additional search domains added beyond the first 6 are not used for resolution by the DNS server.
Workarounds:
Depending on how many entries you have, there are a few options to work around this limitation:
1. Place the short names into /etc/hosts on the appliance.
2. Use fully-qualified names.
3. Create a 'virtual' domain to hold all the short names and re-configure DNS servers for that virtual domain to forward accordingly.
Note: For more information on virtual domains and forwarding, refer to the following site:
