FreeBSD uses a pretty standard version of BIND-8.3.7, and it uses the BIND resolver code in libc -- See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libbind/Makefile?rev=3D1.= 7&content-type=3Dtext/x-cvsweb-markup The part you're interested in is handled by the code in res_init.c: look for the res_setoptions() function in: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/bind/lib/resolv/res_i= nit.c?rev=3D1.1.1.8&content-type=3Dtext/x-cvsweb-markup Which suggests that the functionality you require is available, and that the man page is somewhat lacking. Note that the man page isn't supplied with the BIND sources, so it may well have got out of synch. Have you tried using those options in your /etc/resolv.conf? Do they work?
