Hi,
The man page of resolv.conf claims:
The different configuration options are:
nameserver Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server that the
resolver should query. Up to MAXNS (currently 3) name
servers may be listed, one per keyword....
I've three DNS server in my /etc/resolv.conf in 6.0-REL:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain Sisis.de
nameserver 10.0.1.201
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
But only the 1st one (10.0.1.201) is contacted to make the name lookup
(I've checked this with trussing a 'ping whatever.domain.com') and if
it does not know the addr, while the second one would know it, it does
not resolve.
Do I miss something?
Thx
matthias
