When I inserted dns server ip address by yast, yast automaticly change bind forwarder ip address bind forwarder to the same value. I want to setup different ip address for nameserver and forwarder. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What do you expect as result? It sounds like you would like to use bind as forwarder nameserver for your system, right? There is a policy + 3 variables: NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="auto" => defines a rule who is allowed to provide settings (servers and search list). NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="" => defines the dns domain search list NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST="" => defines the (external) recursive dns servers / forwarder NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" => "resolver", "bind", "dnsmasq" resolver: writes servers and search list to resolv.conf bind: writes servers to bind's forwarders.conf and search list to resolv.conf dnsmasq: writes servers to dnsmasq-forwarders.conf and search list to resolv.conf This means: for ="bind", the nameserver IPs you enter in YaST2, will be written (by "netconfig update") to the forwarders.conf, so bind is using them as forwarders. ! There are no nameserver entries in resolv.conf then ! They are not needed -- glibc will automatically use the name server on the local machine, that is, it will use bind. And bind will use the configured forwarders. See also "man 5 resolv.conf" and "man 8 netconfig". In case there is no name server running on the local machine, just use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Up to MAXNS (currently 3, see ) name servers may be listed, one per keyword. If there are multiple servers, the resolver library queries them in the order listed. If no nameserver entries are present, the default is to use the name server on the local machine. (The algorithm used is to try a name server, and if the query times out, try the next, until out of name servers, then repeat trying all the name servers until a maximum number of retries are made.)
