key.dns_resolver - upcall for request-key to handle dns_resolver
keys
/sbin/key.dns_resolver <key>

<calloutinfo>
This program is invoked by request-key on behalf of the kernel
when kernel services (such as NFS, CIFS and AFS) want to perform a
hostname lookup and the kernel does not have the key cached. It
is not ordinarily intended to be called directly.
There program has internal parameters that can be changed with a
configuration file (see key.dns_resolver.conf(5) for more
information). The default configuration file is in /etc, but this
can be overridden with the -c flag.
The program can be called in debugging mode to test its
functionality by passing a -D or --debug flag on the command line.
For this to work, the key description and the callout information
must be supplied. Verbosity can be increased by supplying one or
more -v flags.
The program may also be called with --dump-config to show the
values that configurable parameters will have after parsing the
config file.
All errors will be logged to the syslog.
