[Bug 1284606] Re: dhclient ignores dns-servers handled by dhcp-servers

[Thomas Schweikle]

dnsmasq, as one can read from its description uses all in resolv.conf
found dns-servers except localhost, which is expected to be the first
entry.

As said by an other user: this package is worthless, if it behaves as
given, because nearly all local resolvers take there ustream dns-servers
from resolv.conf and this file is the glue between dhcp and the local
resolver.

If this behavour is expected and planned it is breaking the resolv chain
without adding anything in to establish it in a new way. Thus: status:
Confirmed -> Invalid is not correct. Status: Confirmed -> Wontfix would
be.

** Changed in: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed

Title:
  dhclient ignores dns-servers handled by dhcp-servers

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While setting up network connections dhclient ignores dns-servers
  handled by dhcp-server. resolv.conf will only hold

  # 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 127.0.0.1
  search bfs.de

  dnsmasq doesn't find any useful dns-servers in this case and will fail
  to resolv "google.com" (or any other not locally known name).
