Issue with mutiple forwarded search domains

[cs96and]

I have DNS Crypt set up to use cloudflare by default, and my company's DNS server for connecting to their boxes over a VPN. There are two domains for my company, mycompany.com and mycompany.net. I have forwarding rules set up as follows...

mycompany.com 1.2.3.4
mycompany.net 1.2.3.4

My resolv.conf looks as follows...

nameserver 127.0.2.1
search mycompany.net mycompany.com
options edns0

Now, if I try to ping a company box without a domain (e.g. ping myserver), the .net ones work, but the .com ones don't. If I swap the order of search in resolv.conf, then the .com ones work but the .net ones don't.

However, if I use the nslookup or host command, then both .net and .com lookups work fine. What is different about the way ping looks up a hostname and the way nslookup and host do it?

If I change my resolv.conf to use my company's DNS server directly, then everything works fine, so it seems that DNS Crypt is not trying the second search domain for some reason.

DNS Crypt: 2.1.5
OS: Debian Linux 12 (Bookworm)
