Does anybody know the answer to this question ?

Which is the maximum number of DNS servers that can be specified in a client's DNS conf file.

A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
d) 5

thanks
 
From the man page for resolv.conf, it's three (answer B)...
[tt]
nameserver address Specifies the Internet address in dot-
notation format of one name server to
which the resolver should direct any
queries. Up to MAXNS (currently three)
name servers may be listed
, on as many
as MAXNS nameserver lines in
resolv.conf. If multiple servers are
specified, the resolver routines query
them in the order listed. If no
nameserver lines are present in the
file, resolver routines use the name
server on the local machine.
[/tt]
Hope this helps.
