Public bug reported: According to the manual page for resolvconf, multiple nameservers may be specified in a single dns-nameservers directive. When I try this, I am only getting the first entry on the line:
(full interfaces file available on request. This is the only stanza with dns-nameservers directives though) root@atlantis:~# head -n 8 /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback dns-nameservers ::1 127.0.0.1 dns-search home.nivex.net nivex.lan root@atlantis:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf # 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 ::1 search home.nivex.net nivex.lan root@atlantis:~# for F in /run/resolvconf/interface/* ; do echo === $F === ; cat $F ; done === /run/resolvconf/interface/lo.inet === search home.nivex.net nivex.lan nameserver ::1 nameserver 127.0.0.1 === /run/resolvconf/interface/lo.named === nameserver 127.0.0.1 I unfortunately need both v6 and v4 nameservers because some programs (notably mtr, bug on file) fail without the presence of a v4 nameserver.
