Suse 10 resolv.conf

Linux and Unix-Like SuSE
1

I want to have 7 search domains in my resolv.conf, but it seems to like only the first six.

I read somewhere that the OS will only recognize the first 6 (or the first 154 characters). Is that the case with SUSE 10?

thx

The search list is limited to six domains with a total of 256 characters, I think it's common limitation for most Linuxes in general.

I believe its a hard coded value for resolver, you can recompile it and change resolv.h. Take a look at the man page, I believe it mentions something about the limit in there.
