performs a lookup for an unqualified host name, the DNS default domain name is
provided as the domain name.
For example, if the DNS default domain name is delta.com and you enter “dvs” for a
DNS query, then “dvs” is changed to “dvs.delta.com“ to resolve the name. The length
of the name can not be longer than 255 characters.
