  23         A new DNS server may be added to the list by the

  26         +
  27         NOTE: SERVER must be a valid IP address and PRIORITY
  28         must be a positive number.
  29         The smaller this number, the higher is is the rank of
  30         the server.

  43 == SETTINGS
  44 The following settings may be set using link:network-settings[8]:
  45
  46 `DNS_USE_LOCAL_RESOLVER = [true|false]`::
  47         This option defines whether the local DNS resolver should
  48         be used or not.
  49         +
  50         Basically, the option adds localhost to the list of nameservers
  51         in link:resolv.conf[5].
  52
  53 `DNS_SEARCH_DOMAINS =`::
  54         This setting configures the search domains for DNS queries
  55         made by the local system.
  56
  57 `DNS_RANDOMIZE = [true|false]`::
  58         This option will break the DNS server ranks and will query
  59         them in a random order which is useful to load-balance
  60         multiple DNS servers.
