Configuring the Resolver

To resolve host names and addresses, resolver routines need to know the order in which to try different name services. For DNS, these routines must know the order in which to try name servers; they must also know the domain databases in which the information might reside.

Select the service resolution order and make any additional entries or changes to the current settings. When you finish, click the Ok button to put your changes in effect.

Use the Host-Address Resolver Configuration form to set these parameters:

Order of services for name and address resolution: Specify the order in which each name service is used to provide name and address information: nis, bind (DNS), and local. If any of the services should not be used, select none from the options menu.

(Default value: NIS, BIND, LOCAL)

Addresses of DNS servers to do name resolution: Enter the address of each DNS server providing name and address information for your domains. The resolver will query servers in left-to-right order. Use the address 0.0.0.0 to reference the local host.

(Default value: none)

List of domains that DNS servers will search: This is the list of domain name databases that are queried to retrieve information about a host. For hostname-to-address translation requests, each domain is appended to the requested hostname until a match is found. The order of attempted matches is left to right in the first row, then left to right in the second row.

(Default value: none)
