There is concern that removing strict-order would at least double the dns traffic for most users, and is not the proper fix.
>From irc logs (#ubuntu-server, feb 24) <stgraber> If the reporter is using a desktop machine, the real fix is to use NetworkManager which will properly setup dnsmasq to only use the VPN dns server for requests relevant to it <stgraber> hallyn: ok, so just did some tests. The problem there is clearly that the remote dns server is misconfigured. Trying with mine, I get NXDOMAIN for an invalid domain from a recursive server (as I should) but SERVFAIL for a domain outside the scope of a non-recursive server. <stgraber> SERVFAIL causes dnsmasq to query the next server, NXDOMAIN doesn't. <stgraber> SERVFAIL is nsd's response when non-recursive. REFUSED is bind's response when non-recursive. Both work with dnsmasq. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205086 Title: lxc-net dnsmasq --strict-order breaks dns for lxc non-recursive nameserver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1205086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
