Suppose resolvconf were to be changed so that it omitted information
from resolv.conf that appeared to be associated with a "down" interface.
What if a resolvconf update happens when some interface happens
temporarily to be down? Information gets omitted even though it should
not be. What if a package (e.g., NetworkManager) doesn't name records
like interface names? Etc.
Keeping track of the networking subsystem is simply beyond the scope of
resolvconf which is just a tiny bit of glue script.
vpnc should not die abnormally. If it does and this can't be fixed then
someone should write a vpnc watchdog which takes appropriate actions
when vpnc dies abnormally.
** Changed in: resolvconf (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
