Dns Domain removed

Hi:

One of the DNS domain hat we use will be removed this week. we use that domain as the thitd entry in the search string in /etc/resolv.conf. What would be the impact? should we remove the entry? we do not use that domain.

Thanks

Brian.

If the first two aren't found and it gets to the third, it would seriously relay the timeout response back to the user/application.

I'd remove it!

I'd also consider doing DNS caching on my servers!

Re: Dns Domain removed

Impact could cause "slow" dns resolution - if you are not using it - then remove it - can be done on the fly - and doesn't require reset of anything....
