Re: [Bug-wget] Feature Request or How To Request

[address@hidden]

Hi Micah,

this could be one very good way to do it.
I would also like to see the same option / s on the wget command line.
eg:

--dns-server-one=99.88.77.66 --dns-server-two=99.88.77.55

That way it can all be dynamic / adaptable from the command line.

extract from "resolve.conf" man:

*nameserver* Name server IP address
   Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server that the
   resolver should query. Up to MAXNS (currently 3, see <resolv.h
   <http://linux.die.net/include/resolv.h>>) name servers may be
   listed, one per keyword. If there are multiple servers, the resolver
   library queries them in the order listed. If no *nameserver* entries
   are present, the default is to use the name server on the local
   machine. (The algorithm used is to try a name server, and if the
   query times out, try the next, until out of name servers, then
   repeat trying all the name servers until a maximum number of retries
   are made.)
