Thank you for the offer, but please don't do that just on my account.
Mostly, I just wanted to know if Postfix was _already_ putting anything
special of its own into the __res structure.. like perhaps a Postfix-
specific value for retries.
But if not, then my question is answered... DNS resolution of anything
in Postfix is done according to whatever the defaults are in the local
resolver library (which are generally both well known and well documented).

A good piece of advice if ever there was one.
