You are not using fully qualified domain names in the data that you
are entering into the database. The DNS server converts everything
entered by humans via its user interface to fully qualified domain
names (because that is what DNS service actually operates in terms
of). A fully-qualified domain name ends with a dot. A non-fully-
qualified domain name does not. The number of labels in the name is
irrelevant. So either omit the labels that the DNS server is itself
adding during the conversion process, and use a non-fully-qualified
domain name comprising just the initial label, or use fully qualified
domain names.
