Name
resolv_conf — specify a custom resolv.conf
Synopsis
resolv_conf = "/my/resolv.conf"
Description
This directive instructs Momentum to initialize its internal resolver with the configuration information located in the filename specified instead of /etc/resolv.conf on Unix-like platforms.
Configuration Options
Momentum supports one option above what resolv.conf(5) supports, as well as a subset of the standard options. The list below constitutes all of the options that Momentum's library supports; details of the standard options can be found in the man page for resolv.conf.
- `nameserver 1.2.3.4` , `search domain1.tld domain2.tld` , `domain localdomain.tld` , `sortlist 1.2.3.4/255.255.252.0`
-
Identical to the resolv.conf(5) usage.
- `lookup bf`
-
Determines the order in which nameserver lookups are done. The default order is DNS then /etc/hosts, and corresponds to the string
bf. You can reverse that order by usinglookup fb. - `options ndots:1` , `options timeout:5` , `options attempts:2`
-
Identical to the resolv.conf(5) usage.
- `options retrans:5`
-
Alias for
options timeout:5 - `options retry:2`
-
Alias for
options attempts:2
Note
Momentum does not support the rotate option of resolv.conf. An upstream server supporting
nameserver rotation can be used in resolv.conf to achieve the goal for Momentum to use the
de facto rotated nameservers for DNS lookups.
Scope
resolve_conf is valid in the global scope.
