By default, a container inherits the DNS settings of the host, as defined in the
`/etc/resolv.conf` configuration file. Containers that use the default `bridge`
network get a copy of this file, whereas containers that use a
[custom network](../../network/network-tutorial-standalone.md#use-user-defined-bridge-networks)
use Docker's embedded DNS server, which forwards external DNS lookups to the DNS
servers configured on the host.

Custom hosts defined in `/etc/hosts` are not inherited. To pass additional hosts
into your container, refer to [add entries to container hosts file](../../engine/reference/commandline/run.md#add-entries-to-container-hosts-file---add-host)
in the `docker run` reference documentation. You can override these settings on
a per-container basis.
