The source is your resource :-)
man resolv.conf on a recent bsd system will show :
" nameserver Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server that the
resolver should query. Up to MAXNS (currently 3) name

The keyword "MAXNS" is defined in resolv.conf, which is part of

Sorry about my e-mail address, but i'm trying to keep spam out.
Remove "icke-reklam" and it works.
