[Gllug] OT: Solaris & DNS

[Lee Blackwell]

Sussed it.  The domain and search lines in resolv.conf aren't both
required, but there is definately something screwy with multiple search
lines.

For example:

search eur.3com.com
nameserver 1.1.1.1

Works just fine, but:

search eur.3com.com
search 3com.com
nameserver 1.1.1.1

doesn't work.

If I swap the lines around so that my local domain (and where the short
name of my host resides) is first:

search 3com.com
search eur.3com.com
nameserver 1.1.1.1

Everything works again.

Hmmm.  The sooner I get Linux onto production servers around here the
better!

Cheers,

Lee
