Predefined Constants

EventDnsBase::OPTION_SEARCH

Tells to read the domain and search fields from the resolv.conf file and the ndots option, and use them to decide which domains(if any) to search for hostnames that aren’t fully-qualified.

EventDnsBase::OPTION_NAMESERVERS

Tells to learn the nameservers from the resolv.conf file.

EventDnsBase::OPTION_MISC

EventDnsBase::OPTION_HOSTSFILE

Tells to read a list of hosts from /etc/hosts as part of loading the resolv.conf file.

EventDnsBase::OPTIONS_ALL

Tells to learn as much as it can from the resolv.conf file.
