/etc/resolv.conf [resolver(5)]
For setting up a name server, read a good book (e.g. O'Reilly's ``DNS
and BIND''). Making mistakes in the name server configuration can
cause serious problems, that's why i normally don't like encouraging
people to do this only based on hearsay knowledge obtained from
Usenet.
