[Bug 987915] Re: Man page doesn't reflect major architectural changes w/ resolvconf

[Stéphane Graber]

Yeah, SEE ALSO could probably contain some references, though we're not
going to maintain a manpage diff in Ubuntu for this, so please report
any such bug against the package in Debian. My goal for next cycle is to
reduce the Debian/Ubuntu delta for ifupdown to just the upstart jobs
(and we're almost there as Debian merge pretty much all our patches).

Title:
  Man page doesn't reflect major architectural changes w/ resolvconf

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  According to the blog post linked in the change logs for 12.04:

  * http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/

  /etc/network/interfaces is the place to put numerous dns declarations.

  "I use static IP configuration, where should I put my DNS configuration?
  The DNS configuration for a static interface should go as “dns-nameservers”, “dns-search” and “dns-domain” entries added to the interface in /etc/network/interfaces"

  However, `man 5 interfaces` makes no mention of dns-nameservers dns-
  search or dns-domain. Perhaps this should be documented.
