.TH RESOLV.CONF 5
.SH NAME
resolv.conf \- Domain Name System resolver configuration
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /etc/resolv.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
.de SP
.if t .sp 0.4
.if n .sp
..
The
.B /etc/resolv.conf
is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve
hostnames to IP addresses.  It may contain these two lines:
.PP
.RS
.ta +15n
nameserver	\fIIP-address\fP
.br
domain	\fIdomain-name\fP
.RE
.PP
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS
queries.  If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the local
name daemon is used that may use the
.B /etc/hosts
database to translate host names.  You normally only need a nameserver entry
if the name server is at the other side of a router.  The default
.B nonamed
name server can't look beyond the local network.
.PP
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames.
This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of the local host
is used.
.PP
The long version of this story can be found in
.BR resolver (5).
