Sh NAME
Nm hesiod.conf
Nd configuration file for the Hesiod library
Sh DESCRIPTION
The file
Nm
determines the behavior of the Hesiod library.
Blank lines and lines beginning with a
Sq #
character are ignored.  All other lines should be of the form
Em variable
=
Ar value ,
where the value should be a single word.  Possible variables and
values are:
Bl -tag -width classes
It Em lhs
Specifies the domain prefix used for Hesiod queries.  In almost all
cases, you should specify
Dq Em lhs Ns = Ns Ar .ns .
The default value if you do
not specify an lhs value is no domain prefix, which is not compatible
with most Hesiod domains.
It Em rhs
Specifies the default Hesiod domain; this value may be overridden by
the
Ev HES_DOMAIN
environment variable.  You must specify an
Em rhs
line for the Hesiod
library to work properly.
It Em classes
Specifies which DNS classes Hesiod should do lookups in.  Possible
values are
Ar IN
(the preferred class) and
Ar HS
(the deprecated class,
still used by some sites).  You may specify both classes separated by
a comma to try one class first and then the other if no entry is
available in the first class.  The default value of the classes
variable is
Dq Ar IN,HS .

Sh BUGS
There default value for
Dq lhs
should probably be more reasonable.
