    DNS Search List 6 entrys limit.

    Posted on

    im trying to add more then 6 entry to the /etc/resolv.conf but its ignoring the 7 entry.
    i understand by looking to /usr/include/resolv.h file that there is 6 entry limitation.

    test7.com is not being use when i try to resolve something that is in this suffix.

    /etc/resolv.conf example

    search test1.com. test2.com. test3.com test4.com test5.com test6.com test7.com

    is there any way to increase this number?
