yamal: Order of the DNS servers is important, as order of DNS servers is important. As long as the first server answers, no other server will be asked. Only if the first server fails, the second one will be asked. And if this one fails the next and so on and so on. So as long as in the provided config the vodafone server answers, the local dns server will not be queried, which is bad, if only this server can answer questions about for instance for mail.private. On the other hand I might want to use the vodafone server as fallback, if I turned off my WLAN card and only work with my mobile data card.
So to summarize: Order of DNS servers is important. Position of a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf describes its priority. Entries in resolv.conf are used by some fallback scheme, not by some round-robin scheme - as long as not explicity enabled by "options rotate". See resolv.conf(5) for details. -- Cannot change order of DNS servers https://launchpad.net/bugs/92682 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
