11.2.3 About the /etc/resolv.conf File

The /etc/resolv.conf file defines how the system uses DNS to resolve host names and IP addresses. This file usually contains a line specifying the search domains and up to three lines that specify the IP addresses of DNS server. The following entries from /etc/resolv.conf configure two search domains and three DNS servers:

search us.mydomain.com mydomain.com
nameserver 192.168.154.3
nameserver 192.168.154.4
nameserver 10.216.106.3

If your system obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, it is usual for the system to configure the contents of this file with information also obtained using DHCP.

For more information, see the resolv.conf(5) manual page.
