Spec URL: http://jpopelka.fedorapeople.org/openresolv.spec
SRPM URL: http://jpopelka.fedorapeople.org/openresolv-3.4.1-1.src.rpm
Description: 
Allows multiple daemons to manage resolv.conf and configures
local resolvers such as dnsmasq and unbound.


More details:
  Consider a wireless DHCP enabled interface, a static wired interface and
a PPP interface. They all compete for resolv.conf and it's normally last
one wins. Some daemons are "clever" in that they restore the last one,
but this is by no means foolproof as the interface order going up may
not be the same as going down. Also, there is a need to use name servers
from all 3 interfaces.
  The obvious solution is to have a middleman which takes the resolv.conf
from each interface, merges them together to form one resolv.conf. It
should also be notified of resolv.conf removal as well.
  openresolv is a resolvconf [2] implementation.
