[Bug 998712] Re: domain name completion broken when dnsmasq is used

[Thomas Hood]

Having just re-read the discussion, I realize that I may have
misunderstood the problem.  I'll try to summarize it.

Wolf, are you saying that when using the NM-enslaved dnsmasq, fully
qualified domain names can always be resolved using the resolver(3) but
short domain names cannot be resolved using the resolver, despite the
correct "search" option being present in /etc/resolv.conf; that this
anomaly does not occur at boot time, but does occur later and lasts one
to thirty minutes?

What triggers the anomaly to occur?

I will assume that in the anomalous situation, /etc/resolv.conf contains
the following

    nameserver 127.0.0.1
    search rsb.intern rsb.at

and /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf contains the following

    server=10.1.0.4

and the following fails with "unknown host s4".

    ping s4

When the anomaly occurs, does "dig s4.rsb.intern" work on the affected
system?

When the anomaly occurs, does "dig s4 +search" work on the affected
system?
