The domainname(1) command is for NIS, not DNS.

The "domain" directive in resolv.conf is deprecated (maybe?) in favor of
the "search" list, but the latter is a list of domain names, not places
to consult.  (If "domain" is given and "search" is not, then "search"
uses the name that is in "domain" as its only entry.)

The list of places to consult for name resolution is in /etc/nsswitch.conf
in recent releases, and was in /etc/host.conf a very long time ago.
