Localhost can be subject to two types of failure: * The local daemon being down. * The resources the local daemon uses being inaccessible. It is possible for root servers, for example, to be inaccessible while the DHCP-issued nameservers can still be. Not all local daemons will prefer to use the DHCP-issued nameservers as their upstream, particularly if DNSSec is preferred/required. Therefore, it can be useful to have a local daemon followed by fallback to using the DHCP-issued nameservers. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
