Arguments: name &rest rest
This function calls dns-query passing a
type value of :a
. This is the
functional equivalent of lookup-hostname if you ignore the extra
values returned. It has one additional feature, which is that if the
query on name doesn't return any IP addresses,
and if name doesn't contain any periods (that is,
it's not a fully qualified domain name), then we try appending the
values in *domain-search-list* to the name and
redoing the query. Because the query can be done once for the given
name and once for each name in the *domain-search-list*
, this
function can take longer to return than dns-query when nameservers aren't
responsive.
See also *dns-mode*
.
