So the NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVER variable can be either the DNS forwarders OR the nameservers for resolv.conf. In previous versions, it was possible to append the local nameserver to what was added to resolv.conf. I do not see a way to do this anymore. So if the variable NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWADER is set to bind, then nameserver 127.0.0.1 should always be appended to nameserver entries in resolv.conf in my thinking. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It should be not needed to set any nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf:

From man resolv.conf(5):

nameserver Name server IP address Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server that the resolver should query. 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.) In fact, not setting any, has had the advantage, that the resolver was trying to reach the nameserver on local machine via IPv4 and IPv6, so it was not needed to check if IPv6 is enabled or not or limit it to use IPv4 only. Because of this fact, we also don't set any in netconfig. On my 11.0 and SLES-10 systems not settings any still works fine... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
