It should contain one configuration keyword per # line, followed by appropriate configuration information. The keywords # recognized are order, trim, mdns, multi, nospoof, spoof, and reorder. # This keyword specifies how host lookups are to be performed. It # should be followed by one or more lookup methods, separated by # commas. Valid methods are bind, hosts, and nis. # order hosts, bind # Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library treats # the .local top level domain as link-local domain and sends multicast # DNS requests to the multicast address 224.0.0.251 port 5353 instead # of normal DNS requests. If you already use the .local domain in your # nameserver configuration you will have to switch this option off. # mdns off # Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library # will return all valid addresses for a host that appears in the # /etc/hosts file, instead of only the first. This is off by # default, as it may cause a substantial performance loss at sites # with large hosts files. # multi off
