/etc/resolv.conf configuration: timeout and retrans options

Dear all,

I'm trying to set DNS resolver option in the /etc/resolv.conf but I am
unsure as to whether Solaris is really picking them up. I tried using
nslookup and dig, but the man pages simply say that they take the
default nameservers and searchdomains from the resolv.conf, but do not
say that they take the other options from the resolv.conf. This ring
true as when I run nslookup interactivly and type 'set all' is says
that timeout is equal to 5, whereas the resolv.conf has set it to 1.

/etc/resolv.conf
timeout:1
retrans:2
retry:4
domain pp.gemini.edu
search pp.gemini.edu ty.gemini.edu qx.gemini.edu
timeout=1
retrans:2
retry=4
nameserver 172.19.2.2
nameserver 172.11.2.2

Is my syntax off, or is there another way to test this?

Thanks if anyone can shed some light.
Kind regards,
S.
