Something like this: > > domain my.domain.edu > nameserver 1.2.3.4 > nameserver 2.3.4.5 Minor nit...domain is deprecated although it will probably continue to work forever. The doc strongly suggests using the search keyword in its place. If there is a single domain specified, it works the same a domain, but it allows the listing of multiple domain so that it will try the name specified in each of the domains listed in the search directive. search mydomain.edu otherdomain.com specialdomain.com nameserver 192.192.192.5 nameserver 24.1.0.64 R.
