OpenBSD configure change DNS name server IP address - DNS Client Resolution

Like any other UNIX like oses OpenBSD uses /etc/resolv.conf file. You just need to add or change NS1 and NS2 here.

Command to display OpenBSD nameserver

Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Here is output:

Code:

search staff.vsnl.in
nameserver 10.0.80.11
nameserver 10.0.80.12

In this case, the default search domain name will be staff.vsnl.in, there are two DNS resolvers, NS1 is 10.0.80.11 and NS2 is 10.0.80.12 specified, and the /etc/hosts file will be consulted before the DNS resolvers are

Command to edit or set new name server

Code:

vi /etc/resolv.conf

Add new name server and close the file. Remember you can set only 3 name servers. To test new nameserver use nslookup

Code:

nslookup google.com
host vsnl.in
