Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.79ubuntu4
Followup-For: Bug #783596

Hi,
We've hit this bug in Ubuntu and it was filed under bug 1675571 [1].

The solution that I've come up with is to allow the author of /e/n/i to
provide a name for each interface definition stanza in the setting
dns-iface-name.  If that is set, it will be used instead of 'inet' or
'inet6' as the 'PROG' portion of 'resolvconf -a IFACE.PROG' when
invoking resolvconf.

The patch is attached, and I have a Ubuntu review up at [2].  I'm
interested in upstream/debian feedback.

Thanks.

commit 4c6b3e659ee1148bdcb36a29414487a11253ee04 (HEAD -> lpusip/debian/sid)

    allow setting of program name via dns-iface-name option in interfaces(5).
    
    When ifupdown has multiple addresses for a given interface, integration
    with resolvconf is broken.  This is because resolvconf is called for each
    stanza, but the scripts in /etc/network/if-*.d/ invoke
      resolvconf -a IFACE.PROG
    or
      resolvconf -d IFACE.PROG
    with IFACE being the interface name, and PROG set to ADDRFAM, where
    ADDRFAM is only 'inet' or 'inet6'.
    
    The solution here is to allow the author of interfaces(5) to provide
    the program name via option 'dns-iface-name'.
    
    As an example:
     auto eth0
     iface eth0 inet static
        address 138.197.98.102/20
        gateway 138.197.96.1
        dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
        dns-iface-name public0
    
     iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.17.0.11/16
        dns-iface-name local
