Uneffective host name resolution under Sol 2.x?

 Dear all,
 
 we are running under Solaris 2.7 the host name resolution via
 this /etc/nsswitch.conf entry:

 hosts: files nis dns

 where the /var/yp/Makefile contains the line

 B=-b

 and the /etc/resolv.conf has these lines:

 domain north.de.astrium.corp
 nameserver 149.243.254.8
 nameserver 149.243.254.6

 Calling for examples

 %ftp ftp.sun.com

 we see that our Sun queries the 2 nameservers for

 ftp.sun.com.north.de.astrium.corp

 i.e. it appends the domain name from the /etc/resolv.conf
 to the address.
 Why does this happen respectively would the name resolution
 not be faster without this suffix?

 Many thanks for your suggestions, hints!
