When an incomplete host name is received by the DNS server on this
switch and a domain name list has been specified, the switch will work
through the domain list, appending each domain name in the list to the
host name, and checking with the specified name servers for a match.
When more than one name server is specified, the servers are queried
in the specified sequence until a response is received, or the end of the
list is reached with no response.
Note that if all name servers are deleted, DNS will automatically be
disabled.
