You don't say what kind of system you're using, but programs can
usually tweak the resolver's behavior by calling res_init() and
then modifying the global _res structure before calling any resolver
functions like gethostbyname(). _res is a struct __res_state, which
should be defined in <resolv.h>. The number of nameservers and
their IP addresses are in the nscount and nsaddr_list fields.
