+        tristate "DNS Resolver support"
+        depends on NET && KEYS
+        help
+          Saying Y here will include support for the DNS Resolver key type
+          which can be used to make upcalls to perform DNS lookups in
+          userspace.
+
+          DNS Resolver is used to query DNS server for information.  Examples
+          being resolving a UNC hostname element to an IP address for CIFS or
+          performing a DNS query for AFSDB records so that AFS can locate a
+          cell's volume location database servers.
+
+          DNS Resolver is used by the CIFS and AFS modules, and would support
+          samba4 later.  DNS Resolver is supported by the userspace upcall
+          helper "/sbin/dns.resolver" via /etc/request-key.conf.
+
+          See <file:Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt> for further
+          information.
+
+          To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+          dnsresolver.
+
+          If unsure, say N.
