COMMAND USAGE
â—† Use this page to define a list of domain names that can be appended to
incomplete host names (i.e., host names passed from a client that are
not formatted with dotted notation).
â—† If there is no domain list, the default domain name is used (see
"Configuring General DNS Service Parameters" on page 589). If there is
a domain list, the system will search it for a corresponding entry. If
none is found, it will use the default domain name.
â—† When an incomplete host name is received by the DNS service on this
switch and a domain name list has been specified, the switch will work
