resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration

<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
|
|
<STRONG>/etc/resolv.conf</STRONG>
|
|
|
|
|

</PRE>
|
|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
The <STRONG>/etc/resolv.conf</STRONG> is used to configure how the host will use the
|
|
Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may contain
|
|
these two lines:
|
|
|
|
nameserver <EM>IP</EM>-<EM>address</EM>
|
|
domain <EM>domain</EM>-<EM>name</EM>
|
|
|
|
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS
|
|
queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the local
|
|
name daemon is used that may use the <STRONG>/etc/hosts</STRONG> database to translate
|
|
host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the name server
|
|
is at the other side of a router. The default <STRONG>nonamed</STRONG> name server can't
|
|
look beyond the local network.
|
|
|
|
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified
|
|
hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of
|
|
the local host is used.
|
