Currently, the resolver behaviour heavily depends on the global configuration files - such as /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts. I believe that it would be really nice if some of that could be modified on per-user basis, especially if the following could be done on per-user basis: - changing the "search" variable from the resolv.conf - adding hosts aliases in addition to those defined in /etc/hosts
