To change the DNS search order in Linux, you can modify the resolv.conf
file, which is the configuration file for the resolv
library that handles DNS resolution.
Here's an example of how to change the DNS search order in Linux:
resolv.conf
file in a text editor. For example:sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
search
line to specify the DNS search domains in the desired order. For example:search domain1.com domain2.com domain3.com
This will set the DNS search order to domain1.com
, domain2.com
, and domain3.com
.
resolv.conf
file and exit the text editor.Note that the resolv.conf
file may be overwritten by your network configuration, so you may need to modify the network configuration instead.
For example, if you are using NetworkManager, you can edit the DNS search domains by modifying the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
file.
