The system resolver will happily provide answers based upon data from
/etc/hosts, YP/NIS, and LDAP which have no relationship to what is in the

In that case, you probably shouldn't enable the option. I'm not even

Actually, does libresolv really use those other facilities?
highly depends on configuration of host.conf or nsswitch.conf, but
afaik hosts are preferred by default on most of systems.
gethostbyname() does, but BIND probably shouldn't use that, because it
loses data like TTLs.
and that is one of reasons why BIND does not (and apparently even
should not) use system libresolv and gethost* functions.
