Syntax
The resolver configuration file primariliy consists of two directives: nameserver and search (as in 'search domain').
Up to three nameserver directives can be used. These servers are queried for DNS lookups.
The search directive sets search domains. As an example, when querying for myhost, resolver(5) will append each search domain to that name and query for those as well.
