If I have 2 or more net interfaces on my host, and each interface connect to a large private network( A and B).
each private network has their own DNS server.
Now, on my host, I launch the www browser. when I want browse the website in A, I enter www.website.a into address bar, browser will lookup the IP of this site based on the dns setting in /etc/resolv.conf. When I enter www.website.b into address bar, it will also do the same thing.
If the DNS servers are below for A and B:
A:
200.61.2.100
200.61.2.101
B:
202.10.210.1
202.10.210.2
if I just list them all in the /etc/resolv.conf is enough to let browser can access websites in A and B?
nameserver 200.61.2.100
nameserver 200.61.2.101
nameserver 202.10.210.1
nameserver 202.10.210.2
thanks

Well, it is there for many years.

Kernel's knowledge where to send packet comes from routing table.

No, it doesn't in the context of your question.

It is simple and like in other operating systems. If the interface is
up, system will send packet over it but will first look routing table.
If the interface is down it "will not" send packet over it, obviously.

In registry, I presume ;-)
