  50 The following settings may be set using link:network-settings[8]:
  51
  52 'DNS_USE_LOCAL_RESOLVER = [true|false]'::
  53         This option defines whether the local DNS resolver should
  54         be used or not.
  55
  56         Basically, the option adds localhost to the list of nameservers
  57         in link:resolv.conf[5].

  59 'DNS_SEARCH_DOMAINS ='::
  60         This setting configures the search domains for DNS queries
  61         made by the local system.

  63 'DNS_RANDOMIZE = [true|false]'::
  64         This option will break the DNS server ranks and will query
  65         them in a random order which is useful to load-balance
  66         multiple DNS servers.
