Subject:   resolv.conf missing options? 2nd sumbit

I´m setting up a couple of outbound, high-volume mail gateways that need 
some kind fairly quick failover when their primary DNS is down, to use 
another DNS. The behavior avaible in some resolvers seems sufficient.

I´ve seen resolv.conf options of such as attempts:4 and timeout:2 in the 
DNS & BIND book, etc but these are not in the 4.6R man resolv.conf page.

Is there any other way in FreeBSD to set these resolver params?
