Package: resolvconf Version: 1.45 Severity: wishlist
Version 1.45's README lists DNS recursing nameservers as: bind9(*), pdns-recursor(*) (with * meaning "with some manual configuration"). It would be nice, when you guys have time, to add to that roster the other three recursive nameservers available in Debian: Unbound, MaraDNS, and dnscache (in packages djbdns/dbndns). At the same time, I note with appreciation Thomas Hood's general solution to that problem in bug #366309, message #14: "First of all, resolvconf already puts addresses for lo.* first and truncates the nameserver list in resolv.conf after the first 127.* address. Second, overriding is already possible in more than one way. One can add a 'nameserver w.x.y.z' line to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head so that this line always appears before a "nameserver" line generated by resolvconf. Thus w.x.y.z will override any other addresses in the sense that it will be tried first." For collective knowledge, an additional workaround is to just uncomment this line in the client machine's /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file: #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; Thank you for your work on this excellent software, anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages resolvconf depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.18 Debian configuration management sy ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip resolvconf recommends no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
