in the same way that multiple DNS records for a single item are handled. A
different separator can be specified, as described above.

The &(dnsdb)& lookup fails only if all the DNS lookups fail. If there is a
temporary DNS error for any of them, the behaviour is controlled by
-an optional keyword followed by a comma that may appear before the record
-type. The possible keywords are &"defer_strict"&, &"defer_never"&, and
-&"defer_lax"&. With &"strict"& behaviour, any temporary DNS error causes the
+a defer-option modifier.
+The possible keywords are
+&"defer_strict"&, &"defer_never"&, and &"defer_lax"&.
+With &"strict"& behaviour, any temporary DNS error causes the
whole lookup to defer. With &"never"& behaviour, a temporary DNS error is
ignored, and the behaviour is as if the DNS lookup failed to find anything.
With &"lax"& behaviour, all the queries are attempted, but a temporary DNS
Thus, in the default case, as long as at least one of the DNS lookups
yields some data, the lookup succeeds.

+.cindex "DNSSEC" "dns lookup"
+Use of &(DNSSEC)& is controlled by a dnssec modifier.
+The possible keywords are
+&"dnssec_strict"&, &"dnssec_lax"&, and &"dnssec_never"&.
+With &"strict"& or &"lax"& DNSSEC information is requested
+with the lookup.
+With &"strict"& a response from the DNS resolver that
+is not labelled as authenticated data
+is treated as equivalent to a temporary DNS error.
+The default is &"never"&.

+The SERVERS parameter allows you to specify an alternate list of ldap servers

+default list of ldap servers, and a single lookup can specify a single ldap
+server to use. But when you need to do a lookup with a list of servers that is
+different than the default list (maybe different order, maybe a completely
+different set of servers), the SERVERS parameter allows you to specify this
+alternate list.
