The code is there (in 2.17-0ubuntu1):
if (!strncmp(cp, "attempts:", sizeof("attempts:") - 1)){
i = atoi(cp + sizeof("attempts:") - 1);
if (i <= RES_MAXRETRY)
statp->retry = i;
else
statp->retry = RES_MAXRETRY;
for (try = 0; try < statp->retry; try++) {
for (ns = 0; ns < MAXNS; ns++)
If you set "attempts:1" it should only run through the nameserver list
once instead of the default, twice.
