luci,

that is what i though also, i.e., it should work, but it didn't.  host
command is able to resolve sip.test.fi, but blink is not.  everything
should be correct regarding configuration of my name servers:

$ more /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
$ host -t ns sip.test.fi 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases: 

sip.test.fi has no NS record
$ host -t ns test.fi 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases: 

test.fi name server localhost.
$ host -t a sip.test.fi 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases: 

sip.test.fi has address 192.98.102.10

how come blink can't find A record of sip.test.fi?
