NAME
net_search_rules - resolver search order database

DESCRIPTION
The net_search_rules file contains a list of databases searched by
MachTen networking applications when resolving host names to
Internet addresses. The order of appearance of a database in the
list determines the search order. By default, name to address
resolution is done first via the local /etc/hosts file and second
via the network domain name system, if one exists.

The allowable entries are:

lcl indicating the local /etc/hosts file.

nds indicating the network domain name system. Domain name
server(s) are listed in the file /etc/resolv.conf.

NOTES
Each entry must appear on a single line. A comment (# sign)
preceding the entry disables the database search.
