[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#418982: resolvconf: Local dns server is inserted after DHCP dns server

[Ivan Raikov]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.37
Severity: normal

I am using pdnsd as a local caching nameserver, and there is a network
DNS server obtained via DHCP; however, resolvconf creates the
following /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 dhcp.domain.jp
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search local.net.jp

DNS lookups on the local machine are never going to use the caching
namerserver, because the DHCP nameserver appears first in
resolv.conf. It needs to be the other way around. The contents of my
/etc/resolvconf/interface-order is the following:

  # interface-order(5)
  lo.inet*
  lo.dnsmasq
  lo.pdnsd
  lo.!(pdns|pdns-recursor)
  lo
  tun*
  tap*
  eth*
  ath*
  wlan*
  ppp*
  *

I have tried putting lo.pdnsd after eth*, but the result was the
same.
