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

 

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 file.  I'm not sure if it
belongs to one package or the other, or both, or to yet some third
thing.

** Also affects: dnsmasq (Ubuntu)

Title:
  resolvconf ignores given dns-servers in /etc/network/interfaces

Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  resolvconf ignores given dns-servers in /etc/network/interfaces if the
  interface in question is configured by dhcp:

  auto em1
  iface em1 inet dhcp
    dns-nameservers 10.161.18.34 10.129.18.34
    dns-search xxx.yy

  the "dns-nameservers"-line is ignored (it shouldn't), while the "dns-
  search"-line is honoured:

  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  nameserver 127.0.0.1
  search xxx.yy

  Together with dnsmasq handling name resolution no names other tan
  local known ones are resolved.
