       How are you sure that it is a host lookup?? It could be resolving a
netbios name possibly appending a dns suffix or working off of the dns
client cache. Couple ways to check. Next time you try it run ipconfig
/flushdns first. If it resolves use ipconfig /displaydns to see if it is
resolved there. If not check nbtstat -r, -n, -c for the name being resolved
via NBT. Or better yet capture the lookup by starting netmon just before you
do the name resolution request. --- Steve
