I think this patch should be sent to Docker and Kubernetes instead of
pushing a mitigation for their bug in the libc.
According to documentation, “The domain and search keywords are
mutually exclusive. If more than one instance of these keywords is
present, the last instance wins.”
This patch would break existing applications relying on documented
behaviour.
