Public bug reported:

I have a forwardonly dnscache (from dbdns) set up on my system, with a
forwarding address set up to our campus resolver.

My system has a static IP configuration and in my
/etc/network/interfaces, I specify "dns-nameservers 192.17.80.184"
(local IP address) to have the DNS queries go through the DNS cache.
When ifup runs, however, the dnscache script updates
/etc/dnscache/root/servers/@ to point to 192.17.80.184, i.e., the
address of the DNS cache itself. After this, any queries to the dnscache
get stuck in an infinite loop as it forwards them to itself.

I could change /etc/network/interfaces to specify the campus resolver in
there, but this would cause the update.d/libc script to point
/etc/resolv.conf to the campus resolver, and not my local dnscache,
which defeats the point of the dnscache.
