5086d7f5d3SJohn MarinoIn almost all cases, you should specify

5286d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThe default value if you do
5386d7f5d3SJohn Marinonot specify an lhs value is no domain prefix, which is not compatible
5486d7f5d3SJohn Marinowith most Hesiod domains.
5586d7f5d3SJohn Marino.It Ic rhs
5686d7f5d3SJohn MarinoSpecifies the default Hesiod domain; this value may be overridden by

6786d7f5d3SJohn Marino.Cm HS
6886d7f5d3SJohn Marino(the deprecated class, still used by some sites).
6986d7f5d3SJohn MarinoYou may specify both classes separated by
7086d7f5d3SJohn Marinoa comma to try one class first and then the other if no entry is
7186d7f5d3SJohn Marinoavailable in the first class.
7286d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThe default value of the classes variable is
