resolv.conf + is it necessary to defined the domain in resolv.conf [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • How to enable hostname resolving in Debian? [closed]

    1 answer




We have a DNS server at 103.16.36.88 that resolves all hosts and IP addresses.



more /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
search Jupiter.com
nameserver 103.16.36.88
domain Jupiter.com


But I am not sure if we need to defined also the:



domain Jupiter.com


because the domain name already set in the DNS server.



So in that case can we unset the domain Jupiter.com, from /etc/resolv.conf?

          Yes you can safely remove domain jupiter.com. There are no use to define domain in /etc/resolv.conf. Only search and nameserver entry needed.

            Per the documentation: "The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive. If more than one instance of these keywords is present, the last instance wins.". So having both is the same as having the last one only. domain does have a purpose, please see the manual page. It is however less useful than the search option.
