NAME
resolv.conf - resolver configuration
SYNOPSIS
svc:/network/dns/client
/etc/resolv.conf
DESCRIPTION
The resolver is a set of routines that provide access to the Internet
Domain Name System. See resolver(3RESOLV).
resolv.conf is a configuration file that contains the information that
is read by the resolver routines the first time they are invoked by a
process. The file is designed to be human readable and contains a list
of keywords with values that provide various types of resolver informa‐
tion.
The configuration used by the resolver is managed by SMF in the
svc:/network/dns/client service. The resolver routines read this con‐
figuration the first time they are invoked by a process.
The resolv.conf file is regenerated from the SMF properties when the
service is started or refreshed.
The file is designed to be human readable and contains a list of key‐
words with values based on the SMF configuration.
The following properties are supported and contained in the config
property group of the svc:/network/dns/client service.
The following properties are single-valued or multi-valued:
nameserver
Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 Internet address of a name server that
the resolver is to query. Up to MAXNS name servers may be listed,
one per property value. See <resolv.h>. If there are multiple
servers, the resolver library queries them in the order listed. If
no name server entries are present, the resolver library queries
the name server on the local machine. The resolver library follows
the algorithm to try a name server until the query times out. It
then tries the name servers that follow, until each query times
out. It repeats all the name servers until a maximum number of re‐
tries are made.
domain
Specifies the local domain name. Most queries for names within this
domain can use short names relative to the local domain. If no do‐
main property is present, the domain is determined from sysinfo(2)
or from gethostname(3C). (Everything after the first '.' is pre‐
sumed to be the domain name.) If the host name does not contain a
domain part, the root domain is assumed. You can use the LOCALDO‐
MAIN environment variable to override the domain name.
search
The search list for host name lookup. The search list is normally
determined from the local domain name. By default, it starts with
the local domain name and may include additional parent domains. Up
to MAXDFLSRCH domains will be used, as long as each contains at
least LOCALDOMAINPARTS domain labels. See <resolv.h>. You can
change the default behavior by listing the desired domain search
path, one domain per property value.
Most resolver queries will be attempted using each component of the
search path in turn until a match is found. This process may be
slow and will generate a lot of network traffic if the servers for
the listed domains are not local. Queries will time out if no
server is available for one of the domains.
The search list is currently limited to six domains and a total of
256 characters.
sortlist
Allows addresses returned by the libresolv-internal gethostby‐
name() to be sorted. A sortlist is specified by IP address and pre‐
fix length pairs. The prefix length is optional and defaults to the
natural prefix length of the net. The IP address and optional pre‐
fix length pairs are separated by slashes. Up to 10 pairs may be
specified. For example:
130.155.160.0/20 130.155.0.0
options
Allows certain internal resolver variables to be modified. The syn‐
tax is
option ...
where option is one of the following:
debug
Sets RES_DEBUG in the _res.options field.
usevc
Sets RES_USEVC in the _res.options field to use TCP instead of
UDP for queries.
use-vc
Sets RES_USEVC in the _res.options field to use TCP instead of
UDP for queries. GNU libc alias for usevc.
ndots:n
Sets a threshold floor for the number of dots which must appear
in a name given to res_query() before an initial absolute (as-
is) query is performed. See resolver(3RESOLV). The default
value for n is 1, which means that if there are any dots in a
name, the name is tried first as an absolute name before any
search list elements are appended to it.
timeout:n
retrans:n
Sets the amount of time the resolver will wait for a response
from a remote name server before retrying the query by means of
a different name server. Measured in seconds, the default is
RES_TIMEOUT. See <resolv.h>. The timeout and retrans values are
the starting point for an exponential back off procedure where
the timeout is doubled for every retransmit attempt.
attempts:n
retry:n
Sets the number of times the resolver will send a query to its
name servers before giving up and returning an error to the
calling application. The default is RES_DFLRETRY. See <re‐
solv.h>.
rotate
Sets RES_ROTATE in _res.options. The name servers are queried
round-robin from among those listed. The query load is spread
among all listed servers, rather than having all clients try
the first listed server first every time.
no-check-names
Sets RES_NOCHECKNAME in _res.options. This disables the modern
BIND checking of incoming host names and mail names for invalid
characters such as underscore (_), non-ASCII, or control char‐
acters.
inet6
Sets RES_USE_INET6 in _res.options. In the Solaris BIND port,
this has no effect on gethostbyname(3C). To retrieve IPv6 ad‐
dresses or IPv4 addresses, use getaddrinfo(3C) instead of set‐
ting inet6.
The domain and search properties are mutually exclusive. If both of
these properties are present, the search property takes precedence.
For information about how to enable a DNS client, see DNS and the Ser‐
vice Management Facility in Working With Oracle Solaris 11.4 Directory
and Naming Services: DNS and NIS.
For more information on how to use SMF commands to view and manually
set the DNS client configuration properties, see the See Also section.
Additionally automatic configuration of DNS client properties may take
place under certain conditions, (the primary system network interface
has one DHCP address and no other addresses configured over it, and the
DHCP server serving that DHCP address also supplies DHCP options for
DNS configuration). Where these conditions are not met, it is possible
to nominate a unique DHCP address to supply DHCP options for DNS con‐
figuration using the dhcpinfo-option-source address property, see
ipadm(8). Automated configuration of the DNS client may result in
changes to /etc/resolv.conf(5) which administrators find unexpected.
Where desired an administrator may suppress this automatic configura‐
tion of the DNS client by setting the config/ignore_dhcp_config parame‐
ter of the svc:/network/service:default service to true, see examples
section for details.
Finer grained control of what dhcpv4 or dhcpv6 options the DHCP client
requests or accepts can be obtained using ipadm properties param-re‐
quest-list and param-ignore-list, see example section for details.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Several environment variables can override the settings in the resolver
configuration. However, these variables are only supported when an ap‐
plication is compiled to directly call APIs from the resolver(3RESOLV)
library. Most applications are instead compiled to use higher level in‐
terfaces such as getaddrinfo(3C) that use the nsswitch.conf(5) configu‐
ration to determine which sources of host name and address information
to use for lookups, instead of hardcoding to DNS by calling the DNS re‐
solver directly, so these environment variables will not be effective.
You can override the domain and search properties of the system config‐
uration on a per-process basis by setting the environment variable LO‐
CALDOMAIN to a space-separated list of search domains.
You can amend the options property of the system configuration on a
per-process basis by setting the environment variable RES_OPTIONS to a
space-separated list of resolver options.
The HOSTALIASES environment variable specifies a file listing addi‐
tional aliases for hosts, which may be used by the resolver(3RESOLV)
library unless the application specifies the RES_NOALIASES option.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Listing Available Configuration Parameters
Use the following command to list the available configuration parame‐
ters for svc:/network/dns/client:
$ svccfg -s network/dns/client describe -tv config
Example 2 Configuring a Client
Use the following commands to configure a client in subdomain us.exam‐
ple.com to use two DNS servers, to try a givenname as-is if it has two
or more dots, and to only make two attempts to contact each server:
$ svccfg -s svc:/network/dns/client setprop \
config/nameserver = net_address: \(192.168.0.1 10.0.0.1\)
$ svccfg -s svc:/network/dns/client \
setprop config/search = astring: \(us.example.com example.com\)
$ svccfg -s svc:/network/dns/client \
setprop config/options = astring: \"ndots:2 attempts:2\"
$ svcadm refresh svc:/network/dns/client
A few points to note while executing this example:
o The attempts option here is overridden by the retries option
in nsswitch.conf(5) when standard application interfaces
such as getaddrinfo(3C) and getnameinfo(3C) are used.
o The config/search and config/nameserver properties take mul‐
tiple values, not a space separated list.
o The config/options property takes a space separated list of
options, not multiple values.
o refresh is necessary for the requested changes to take ef‐
fect.
Example 3 Disabling DHCP automatic configuration of the DNS client.
# svccfg -s network/service setprop config/ignore_dhcp_config = true
# svcadm refresh network/service
Example 4 Disabling recognition of IPv4 DNS parameters (DNSserv,DNSd‐
main,DNSDomSearch) by DHCP client.
This method allows an administrator to decide which, if any of these
DNS client configuration options can be automatically set as a result
of DHCP server supplied options. See /etc/dhcp/inittab or
/etc/dhcp/inittab6 for dhcpv4 / dhcpv6 option name to option number
translations.
# ipadm set-prop -p param-ignore-list=6,15,119 dhcpv4
