That’s beside my point. Dig isn’t a tool for diagnosing resolv.conf. It’s a tool for querying and diagnosing name server responses. I have no opinion on systemd nor its maintainer. Meta: this entire thread is even relevant to the story. Some folks just wanted to complain about systemd. It doesn’t make for interesting reading and lowers the discussion quality here.
