3.4.2 Domain Name Service (DNS)

The Domain Name Service is the usual way to resolve IP-numbers from hostnames in larger networks. Assuming you already have a name server running, all you have to know to set it up is your domainname and the nameserver's (and maybe it's secondaries, if any) IP-numbers. Put all these informations into `/etc/resolv.conf':

# Example /etc/resolv.conf
domain your.domain.here
nameserver <primary-IP>
nameserver <secondary-ip>

As an example, here's DUSKs `/etc/resolv.conf':

# dusk's /etc/resolv.conf
domain rz.uni-regensburg.de
nameserver 132.199.1.2
nameserver 132.199.1.1

This file is all that's necessary to use DNS. Probably most important, there's no need to reboot after creating/changing this file.
