[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#339418: 127.0.0.1 sole nameserver - dangerous!

[Peter Rabbitson]

Hi,
It is funny that this bug keeps getting new life, but here is what 
happened on one of my machines:

I have a DSL connection at this site so I opted for resolvconf some time 
ago, figuring it might not hurt to have it if nameservers ever change. I 
also never checked that if I have a local BIND running the nameservers 
from ppp0 will not be considered. Two days ago my bind crashed, I am 
still looking into the cause. Since there is nothing that would run 
/etc/init.d/bind9 stop, which in turn would do /sbin/resolvconf -d 
lo.named the machine was effectively deprived of any resolvers. I am 
taking resolvconf away now, but I figured I will share my experience.

Cheers
Peter
