Bug#463575: /etc/resolv.conf: No way to disable domain option
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch4
Severity: normal
Hi,
$ man resolv.conf
domain Local domain name.
Most queries for names within this domain can use short names relative to the local domain. If no domain entry is present, the domain is determined from the local host name returned by gethostname(); the domain part is taken to be everything
after
the first ‘.’. Finally, if the host name does not contain a domain part, the root domain is assumed.
There doesn't seem to be a way to disable this option. If it's not set or if it's set to the empty string, gethostname() will be used.
I'd like to have an option to just disable it.
