<FORM>
<H2>Configuring the Resolver</H2>
<P>
To resolve host names and addresses, resolver routines need to know the order
in which to try different name services. For DNS, these routines must know 
the order in which to try name servers; they must also know the domain 
databases in which the information might reside. 
</P>
<P>
Select the service resolution order and make any additional entries or
changes to the current settings. When you finish, click the <VAR>Ok</VAR> 
button to put your changes in effect.
</P>
<P>
Use the Host-Address Resolver Configuration form to set these parameters:
</P>
<P>
<STRONG>Order of services for name and address resolution:</STRONG>
Specify the order in which each name service is used to provide name and
address information: nis, bind (DNS), and local. If any of the services
should not be used, select <VAR>none</VAR> from the options menu.
</P>
(Default value: NIS, BIND, LOCAL)
<P>
<STRONG>Addresses of DNS servers to do name resolution:</STRONG> Enter the
address of each DNS server providing name and address information for
your domains. The resolver will query servers in left-to-right order. Use 
the address <EM>0.0.0.0</EM> to reference the local host.
</P>
(Default value: none)
<P>
<STRONG>List of domains that DNS servers will search:</STRONG> This is the
list of domain name databases that are queried to retrieve information
about a host. For hostname-to-address translation requests, each domain 
is appended to the requested hostname until a match is found. The order 
of attempted matches is left to right in the first row, then left to right
in the second row.
</P>
(Default value: none)
