The following operand is supported:
address Specifies the IP address of a DNS server to be added or deleted
using four sets of integers. Up to three addresses delimited by
the space can be specified. The following address form is
accepted:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xxx
You cannot specify the loopback address (127.0.0.0/8), the
network address, or a broadcast address.
domainname Specifies the domain name of the DNS search path to be
registered or deleted. You can use a RFC 1034-compliant format.
The label element can contain letters (a to z, A to Z), numbers (0
to 9), and the special characters "-" (hyphens) and "." (period).
The domain name must begin with a letter and end with either a
letter or number. A "." (period) can be used as delimiter. You can
specify up to five domain names, each separated by a space, but
the total number of characters cannot exceed 256.
If multiple DNS servers are specified, the servers are used in the order specified.
■
The registered DNS search path is used, as in the case where you use the
■
nslookup(8) command and refer to the DNS server for the host name. The host
name that you specified in the nslookup(8) command will be appended with
the domain name which registered in the DNS search path, and be referred to the
DNS server in the FQDN format.
If multiple search paths are registered, domain names are assigned in order of
■
registration and referred to the DNS server.
If you set the DNS search path, you must also specify the DNS server.

An integer from 0–255. Zero suppression can
be used to specify the integer.
