     From man resolv.conf (a symlink to /usr/man/man5/resolver.5.gz):
       nameserver
              Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server
              that the resolver should query.  Up to MAXNS  (cur-
              rently  3) name servers may be listed, one per key-
              word.  If there are multiple servers, the  resolver
              library  queries  them  in the order listed.  .  .  .

     Unless the debian version of the resolver library is compiled to
use a larger MAXNS, only the first three nameservers listed will be
effective.
