What is about my configuration in avahi-daemon.conf:
####
domain-name=local
browse-domains=clausklein.homelinux.net
####

I expected to find my old search list in  /etc/resolv.conf or the configured domain name.

At the moment, my solution is to use the domainname I get with `hostname -d`
because `dnsdomainname` is not available in the busybox.
