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
  servers may be listed, one per keyword.  If there are multi-"

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