I´m trying to configure search domains on OSX, however with no succes.

I configured my search domain for the Wi-FI interface on network preferences, like this:

OSX preferences

However when trying to resolve any host, either from web browser or terminal, it does not append the domain:

DNS resolving error

I added me.com to search domains, accepted, applied the configuration and worked as expected when I pinged mail: it actually resolved mail.me.com. Have you pressed the button 'Apply' in network configuration after making the changes? Does it work if you try ping srvcon17.consultec.local? – jaume Feb 14 at 9:37
Did you try with a .local domain? Yes it does work when I try to ping with the fullname. – iCe Feb 14 at 13:24
No, I haven't, I don't have any .local domain to test with. I don't see why it shouldn't work with a .local domain, though, provided the DNS server is properly configured. To check it, could you add the output of nslookup -query=ns consultec.local to your question? – jaume Feb 14 at 13:48
