NAME
|
|
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
/etc/resolv.conf
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
The /etc/resolv.conf 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 IP-address
|
|
domain domain-name
|
|
|
|
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 /etc/hosts 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 nonamed 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.
|
|
|
|
The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).
