Package: openresolv
Version: 3.5.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I have installed openresolv on the systems I administer, including my
laptop, to have it setup a local caching nameserver which forwards DNS
queries to appropriate real nameservers. While it works, I found that the
current setup of openresolv configures bind to always forward queries, even
when they are for zones which are nonroutable as per rfc 1918, e.g. 127.*,
192.168.*, etc.. Now, all these zones are correctly configured by default in
debian so that the local bind servers knows to respond to them with no need
to forward them. However, openresolv overrides this by setting up bind to
ALWAYS forward queries, so I am getting lots of replies (which go into
system logs) like e.g. 

named: client 127.0.0.1#38598: RFC 1918 response from Internet for 
127.150.168.192.in-addr.arpa

It would be nice to be able to tell openresolv, in some configuration option
or file, to add some fields to named-zones.resolvconf so that for some zones 
queries are NOT forwarded, but instead resolved by the local nameserver.
Or, perhaps add some quick howto on how to add some configuration to bind to
this effect.


Thanks, best regards
Giacomo Mulas
