NAME
hesiod.conf -- configuration file for the Hesiod library

DESCRIPTION
The file hesiod.conf determines the behavior of the Hesiod library.
Blank lines and lines beginning with a `#' character are ignored. All
other lines should be of the form variable = value, where the value
should be a single word. Possible variables and values are:

lhs Specifies the domain prefix used for Hesiod queries. In almost
all cases, you should specify ``lhs=.ns''. The default value if
you do not specify an lhs value is no domain prefix, which is
not compatible with most Hesiod domains.

rhs Specifies the default Hesiod domain; this value may be overrid-
den by the HES_DOMAIN environment variable. You must specify an
rhs line for the Hesiod library to work properly.

classes Specifies which DNS classes Hesiod should do lookups in. Possi-
ble values are IN (the preferred class) and HS (the deprecated
class, still used by some sites). You may specify both classes
separated by a comma to try one class first and then the other
if no entry is available in the first class. The default value
of the classes variable is ``IN,HS''.

BUGS
The default value for lhs should probably be more reasonable.
