Domain Name Resolver
The resolver uses information specified in a configuration file to provide access to a
name server. The default name for this file is $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.RESCONF. When an
application sends a name_resolution request to the resolver, the resolver sends the
request to the servers listed in the RESCONF file in order of their priority in a timed
sequence. The server listed first in the RESCONF file (the primary server) has the
highest priority. The RESCONF file must contain a minimum of one server; the
maximum is 16 servers. For more information on setting up the RESCONF file, refer to
RESCONF File on page D-11.
