I was reading about bind-interfaces at http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/FAQ and I'm wondering, are there any use cases that will have problems with bind-interfaces and the standalone dnsmasq instance?
* Suppose a teacher boots her laptop (==LTSP server) without a network cable plugged in. Dnsmasq starts (will it only listen on lo?), and after a few minutes she decides to plug in the network cable and boot the LTSP clients. Will dnsmasq be listening on eth0 in that case? * The same can happen if she has configured network manager with a user-connection, not a system-wide one. Dnsmasq will start on boot; eth0 will get an IP only after she logs in. Will she have to restart dnsmasq after login to make it work? * Also, what if she was previously using a dynamic IP and she decides to set up a static IP? Will she have to restart dnsmasq after changing her IP? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959037 Title: NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from starting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/djbdns/+bug/959037/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
