[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#538674: resolvconf: Please honour "recursion no; " in /etc/bind/named.conf/options

[Julien Valroff]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.42
Severity: normal

Hi,

The current /etc/resolvconf/update.d/bind script does not honour the "recursion no;" option.

This leads to resolvconf setting 127.0.0.1 as DNS server, without the local machine being able to resolve DNS names.

The following line simply tests whether "recursion no;" is in named.conf.options:

	sed 's/^\s*//' /etc/bind/named.conf.options | grep '^recursion\s*no\;'

I do not know what do do with it!

Why doesn't resolvconf simply use the nameservers specified in /e/n/i and put them in resolv.conf when bind is installed?
I have a bind setup running to serve my domains, but I don't want to use it as a local nameserver. Using resolvconf, I have to do it.

Note that empty "allow-recursion {};" seems to have the same effect.

Cheers,
Julien
