Hello,
After many years of harsh and forceful edits of resolv.conf, I'm finally
converting to the resolve: :) However I'm experiencing an undesirable
behavior.
The docs say that resolve: performs no cleanup on the /etc/resolv.conf
file, but alas the 'search' field is being deleted.
Line 2355 of do.c has this statement, which I can only interpret to be
"remove the search line". There is no function to replace it.
while(DeleteItemStarting(&filebase,"search"))
{
}
Of course I can use editfiles to do repair this, but if resolv.conf (with
the search list) was correct to begin with, then we have a series of
unnecessary edits (resolve: will remove, then have to use 'editfiles' to
put it back).
Hopefully I am just missing something here so feedback appreciated. If
I've got this right, can I just comment these three lines in do.c and
recompile to negate the deletion of 'search'?
On this topic, I'd like to request a few desirable RFE in the resolve function
:)
* ability to disable the management of 'domain' in resolve: (ie,
dont remove, dont include)
* ability to manage resolver 'search' path in resolve: Perhaps
by defining a ResolvSearch, can be done based on classes.
* define number nameserver lines allowed. The current function,
while awesome for ensuring and ordering, just pushes old/dead
entries down the list. If allowed to define the number of
nameserver enties then the list can be constrained. (I'm
accomplishing this now with a cumbersome
LocateLineMatching/DeleteLinesAfterThisMatching.
Cheers,
-dolan
