Nonono; the other thing you do with commented lines   :)

You need the "domain berklix.org" (or a similar "search" line) for it
to guess a domain for non-FQDN lookups.  That'll tell it to check
"flat.berklix.org" if it can't find "flat" (or the other order; I can
never remember); otherwise how would it know what to try?
