/sys$common/syshlp/TCPIP$UCP_HELP.HLB  —  SET  NAME_SERVICE, Qualifiers  /PATH
       /PATH=domain
       /NOPATH=domain

    Optional. Requires the SYSNAM privilege.

    Defines the BIND resolver's domain search list.

    To specify multiple domains, list them by search preference.
    The resolver starts with the first domain on the list, and
    continues to search each domain until the name is found or until
    all domains have been exhausted and the lookup fails.

    /NOPATH removes domains from the list.

    If you define a domain list and then issue another SET NAME_
    SERVICE /PATH command, TCP/IP Services appends the new domains to
    the end of the list.

    If no search list is defined, the default behavior of the BIND
    resolver is to do a lookup on the name as you typed it. If that
    lookup fails, then the default domain is appended and the lookup
    is attempted again.
