Hi,

The limit for search suffixes is currently 6 with a limit of 256 characters. Remember that the local domain *must* be first for shortname searches to work properly.

SEP, you're thinking about the limit for DNS servers in the resolv.conf file. The search line - like

search local.company.com local2.company.com local3.company.com local4.company.com

is what this user was asking about. See man resolv.conf for further details.

HTH,
Jeff
