- <H2>Configuring the Resolver</H2>
- <P>
- 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.
- </P>
- <P>
- Select the service resolution order and make any additional entries or
- changes to the current settings. When you finish, click the <VAR>Ok</VAR>
- button to put your changes in effect.
- </P>
- <P>
- Use the Host-Address Resolver Configuration form to set these parameters:
- </P>
- <P>
- <STRONG>Order of services for name and address resolution:</STRONG>
- 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 <VAR>none</VAR> from the options menu.
- </P>
- (Default value: NIS, BIND, LOCAL)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Addresses of DNS servers to do name resolution:</STRONG> 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 <EM>0.0.0.0</EM> to reference the local host.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>List of domains that DNS servers will search:</STRONG> 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.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
