[SunHELP] Bind 9.2.3

[George Munk]

>From the man page for resolv.conf(4) on Solaris 8 and 9:

    "The domain and search keywords are  mutually  exclusive.  If
    more  than  one  instance  of these keywords is present, the
    last instance takes precedence"

Change "takes precedence" to "wins" for the RedHat 9 man page. Other
UNIXes may be different.
