NAME
key.dns_resolver.conf - Kernel DNS resolver config
DESCRIPTION
This file is used by the key.dns_resolver(5) program to set parameters.
Unless otherwise overridden with the -c flag, the program reads:
/etc/key.dns_resolver.conf
Configuration options are given in key[=value] form, where value is op-
tional. If present, the value may be surrounded by a pair of single
('') or double quotes ("") which will be stripped off. The special
characters in the value may be escaped with a backslash to turn them
into ordinary characters.
Lines beginning with a '#' are considered comments and ignored. A '#'
symbol anywhere after the '=' makes the rest of the line into a comment
unless the '#' is inside a quoted section or is escaped.
Leading and trailing spaces and spaces around the '=' symbol will be
stripped off.
Available options include:
default_ttl=<number>
The number of seconds to set as the expiration on a cached
record. This will be overridden if the program manages to re-
trieve TTL information along with the addresses (if, for exam-
ple, it accesses the DNS directly). The default is 5 seconds.
The value must be in the range 1 to INT_MAX.
The file can also include comments beginning with a '#' character un-
less otherwise suppressed by being inside a quoted value or being es-
caped with a backslash.
