network-dns-server(8)

NAME

network-dns-server - Controls the DNS settings

network dns-server add SERVER [PRIORITY]
network dns-server remove SERVER
network dns-server list
network dns-server update

With this command, you will be able to configure the local DNS configuration.

You may add and remove DNS servers as well as view the settings.

The following commands are understood:

add SERVER [PRIORITY]: A new DNS server may be added to the list by the add command. A priority that will rank the server my optionally be given.
NOTE: SERVER must be a valid IP address and PRIORITY must be a positive number. The smaller this number, the higher is is the rank of the server.
remove SERVER: The given server will be removed from the list of DNS servers.
list: Shows a list of all servers that are currently in use.
update: This command will re-create the system’s configuration files. It should not be required to use this command very often.

The following settings may be set using network-settings(8):

DNS_USE_LOCAL_RESOLVER = [true|false]: This option defines whether the local DNS resolver should be used or not.
Basically, the option adds localhost to the list of nameservers in resolv.conf(5).
DNS_SEARCH_DOMAINS =: This setting configures the search domains for DNS queries made by the local system.
DNS_RANDOMIZE = [true|false]: This option will break the DNS server ranks and will query them in a random order which is useful to load-balance multiple DNS servers.
