DESCRIPTION
       You can use the dns component to manage configurations by server
       grouping, in this case, DNS servers.

EXAMPLES
       modify dns name-servers add { 192.168.10.20 192.168.10.22 }
	    Adds DNS name servers with the IP addresses, 192.168.10.20 and
	    192.168.10.22, to the BIG-IP system.

       modify dns search add { siterequest.com store.siterequest.com
       london.siterequest.com }
	    Adds the host names, siterequest.com, store.siterequest.com, and
	    london.siterequest.com, to the DNS search configuration for the
	    BIG-IP system.

	    Note: When DNS searches for the host, siterequest, which is not a
	    fully qualified domain name, it uses the IP address of the first
	    match, in this case, siterequest.com.

       show running-config dns
	    Displays the running configuration of the dns component.

OPTIONS
       description
	    User defined description.

       include
	    Warning: Do not use this option without assistance from the F5
	    Technical Support team. The system does not validate the commands
	    issued using the include option. If you use this option
	    incorrectly, you put the functionality of the system at risk.

       name-servers
	    Configures a group of DNS name servers for the BIG-IP system.

       number-of-dots
	    Configures the number of dots needed in a name before an initial
	    absolute query will be made.

       search
	    Configures a list of domain names in a specific order. DNS uses
	    that order when searching for host names that are not fully
	    qualified. You can use this option to delete domain names in the
	    list.
