I apologize for the simple question but I haven't been able to find the answer.  I want to know how I specify the name server address that FreeBSD should use for name resolution.  I would assume it is an entry in rc.conf similar to the ip address and the gateway address but I can't find any info in either the /etc/defaults/rc.conf or the books I have.

TIA.
