[Bug 1284607] Re: resolvconf ignores given dns-servers in /etc/network/interfaces

2014-12-28 Thread deejoe
Thank you for the clarification with regard to the differences between the 'dnsmasq' and 'dnsmasq-base' packages. The pointer to the resolvconf documentation, however, is less on-point, since my previous report makes reference already to the resolvconf documentation. Clearly, this isn't a ques

I mean of course that resolvconf documentation refers to using dns- nameservers (not "dns-server" as I wrote above). I've added this as affecting dnsmasq-base, too. I think this is, at least, a documentation bug with regard to the interplay amongst resolvconf and dnsmasq and their configuration f

The use of TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=no is defined in the resolvconf documentation. However, the resolvconf documentation also says that one should be able to use dns-server settings in /etc/network/interfaces This inconsistency is frustrating: Is dnsmasq getting its DNS se

By default, resolvconf will truncate the list of DNS servers after the loopback address. This can be overriden by putting TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=no in /etc/default/resolvconf This behaviour is documented in resolvconf's manpage. ** Changed in: resolvconf (Ubuntu) S
