multiple DNS entries to /etc/resolv.conf

I currently have 7 DNS servers (using split DNS) which I need to put
in my resolv.conf.

I did put:

nameserver dns1
nameserver dns2
nameserver dns3
search dns4
search dns5

But it doesn't seem to pick up the DNS servers (do I need to restart network?). Do I need to do anything else to add all my dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf?

use IP addresses instead of dns1, dns2...

you may also like to edit /etc/host.conf and change the order how hostnames are resolved
