Because Coda uses a global namespace, it intentionally disables
expanding the hostname with the domains that were specified with the
search option in /etc/resolv.conf.

Essentially, we don't ever want to see non-FQDN names such as,

    /coda/coda

Because such a name depends on the location of the client. And an
important target for Coda are mobile clients.

If we allowed /coda/coda, then the mobile client would lose access to
the realm when he connects over a different network that has different
DNS search domains.

Now if we used a FQDN like /coda/coda.cs.cmu.edu, this name would be
be valid and unique on any network that has internet connectivity.

It sounds like you have a duplicate line in /vice/db/servers.
