While not the focus of this bug, (and I can't speak for anyone else here) I have used resolvconf (actually openresolv) with dnsmasq to properly handle dns for VPN connections. I have a home network with internal DNS (there is several machines on the network), when I connect (via VPNC) to my office network, there is again an internal DNS with many private hostnames. Openresolv allows me to still interact with both.
I have recently switched to Ubuntu, and have not gotten openresolv installed (yet), but I already miss that functionality. NetworkManager (or rather the Ubuntu network management stack) does not seem to handle this particular configuration at all well. Openresolv would (in theory) re-enable it. The debian resolvconf is missing some key functionality, but openresolv is basically a drop-in replacement. -- network-manager not deleting resolvconf information on resume from suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
