Hi Guys,
    I'm having a issue with my servers at the moment in that if the 
first resolver in the resolv.conf file goes down the servers hang on 
lookups while it times out. Which is then causing website errors and 
servers try and communicate with database servers etc.


I have been reading through the man pages etc and have compiled, a
possible solution by modifying the resolv.conf, but I wanted to get some
thoughts first before preceding.
Example of possible conf change:
*search example.com
options attempts:5
options timeout:2
options rotate
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.2
nameserver 192.168.0.3
*
any other suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Keir Whitlock
