The use of TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=no is defined in the resolvconf documentation.
However, the resolvconf documentation also says that one should be able to use dns-server settings in /etc/network/interfaces This inconsistency is frustrating: Is dnsmasq getting its DNS server information from resolvconf, which in turn gets it from /etc/network/interfaces? Or, does dnsmasq take what it likes from /etc/network/interfaces directly, discarding the rest? I've managed to get static DNS server settings configured into my machine by setting them in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq-base/README.Debian refers to settings in /etc/dnsmasq.conf but I had no luck configuring anything in this file, nor in /etc/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.conf What's more, that documentation says /etc/dnsmasq.conf is "well commented" however that file seems not to exist in the package (therefor, none of its "good" comments exist in the package, either). Nor does /etc/defaults/dnsmasq exist. How is one to infer that that is the place to configure this package, especially in light of the contradictory information in the README.Debian file? It seems the Ubuntu 14.04 use of dnsmasq departs significantly from the way it is used in Debian, but in poorly-documented ways, and in ways inconsistent with the documentation and its use alongside resolvconf. Perhaps adding an /etc/defaults/dnsmasq file with TRUNCATE_NAMESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=no in it, if in fact that works, would be a reasonable default. If /etc/network/interfaces is not used, then no harm done, but if it is done, then the package can respect that the system operator means for those settings to be used. This would be consistent with the broader behavior of network-manager, which also defers to settings made in /etc/network/interfaces. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284607 Title: resolvconf ignores given dns-servers in /etc/network/interfaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1284607/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
