Re: possible patch for implementing split DNS

We over-ride where the resolver looks for resolv.conf using an
environment variable. This would allow me to reset this to an application
specific config file that specifies a different server.

Anyone got better ways fo doing this?

Run the special processes in a jail with its own resolv.conf? My gut
reaction to your suggestion is negative, but I'm having a hard time
articulating a solid reason why.

Perhaps if you described your problem in more detail, it would be easier to
work around it, but I can't help thinking that there are better ways to
solve this problem.
