As for ubuntu.com, that was only as an example to show a situations when things break. I really just copied what the original submitter used -- I should probably have used example.com instead though, that's less confusing.
My concrete situation is that the server delivers only inf.uni- konstanz.de because that's what matches the university's organizational structure. (And having it changed it is not an option.) I put the other two (disy.inf.uni-konstanz.de and uni-konstanz.de) in the search path long ago because I regularly connect to hosts in those domains. Saves a lot of typing errors, and AFAIK it's not an uncommon use case for the search path. But this broke DNS resolution for disy.inf.uni-konstanz.de and uni-konstanz.de (probably because they're not in any per-interface search path) on upgrade to 17.04, and got me to this bug. As far as I can tell now, the bug should only affect users on or upgrading to zesty who have manually configured a search path using resolvconf, and artful users who configure one in resolved.conf. That's clearly a minority of users. I certainly agree to the "only send queries to the right nameserver" part. That makes sense, as does UseDomains and setting it to true by default. What I find troubling is that it seems to just swallow the query when there's no interface matching a search path entry. That doesn't agree with the documentation of either Domains= or UseDomains=, which both suggest that one can have search paths not associated with an interface. But I guess that's a bug in the systemd-resolved and not in Ubuntu, so I'll probably just report it upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714803 Title: Search list in resolv.conf breaks resolving for that domain To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1714803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
