Description Gergely Risko 2013-03-07 18:50:24 UTC 
Currently the connection specific "dns" option always appends nameservers to the ones received from DHCP.  I want the opposite, prepend 127.0.0.1, so if bind is running on my machine, I can use that (bugfree, privacy non-invasive), but if it's stopped for some reason, I can still google around trying to fix it :)

The current possibility of appending nameservers are not very useful to me, because I don't want to prefer the network provided servers.

Using "prepend 127.0.0.1;" in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf is not an option either, because I want to do this prepending in a connection specific way, only for some connections.

There are lots of people who want to slightly tweak resolv.conf management in
slightly different ways. Rather than add options for every possibility, we're
just going to make it possible to write your own script to write out
resolv.conf the way you want it.
