timeout problem

[Rossen Raykov]

Hi,

I am running named 8.2.2-P5 on SPARK Solaris 7 box behind a firewall (Linux
with ipchains).
When I try to resolve some domains using nslookup the first response is:
can't find xxx.yyy.zzz: Non-existent host/domain
When I repeat this 2 or 3 times it returns the correct IP address.
I've set timeout to 20 (default is 5) and retry to 5 (default 2) inside
nslookup and seems it was OK.

My question is how to make this settings permanent for the operating system?
I've try with this additional lines in my /etc/resolv.conf
options retrans:20
options retry:5
... but it seems like this have not affected the system.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Rossen
