NSLOOKUP

when remote system is attached to a domain ie xyz.com

and you do an nslookup on a host ie www.basspro.com

nslookup returns

www.basspro.com.xyz.com

why is it adding xyz.com to the fqdn?

how to you stop it

Sounds xyz.com has a wildcard DNS entry ("*" or "*.xyz.com.") which if you
tell your system to search xyz.com would match any_unknown_fqdn.xyz.com.
So you either need to remove xyz.com from your local list of search
domains, or have the wildcard removed from xyz.com nameservers.
