Hi,
If there are multiple nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf, what is
the strategy for trying a particular one of them. Is it that on every
gethostbyname invocation, first one is always tried, and if it doesn't
responds in a particular time frame, second one is tried and so on ---
or some history is maintained so that if first one doesn't reply for
some no. of queries, automatically second one becomes the default server.
Thanks
Amardeep
