If a relative name is stated it is changed into a complete name by adding the domain specified in the SOA record or defined by a parameter of the ORIGIN command that precedes the database record. The ORIGIN command then changes the default domain. If the default domain is not changed by the ORIGIN command the domain from the SOA record is used.
