There are n different daemons that can clash over /etc/resolv.conf, or you could put the responsibility on the actual system resolver library routines by extending resolv.conf syntax a little.
This would also solve the network namespace issue.
- vetinari 6y agoIt is simpler to persuade those few daemons that want to update resolv.conf to do something else (e.g. talk to networkmanager), than to ensure that every program that directly reads resolv.conf is updated for the new syntax. Programs are not supposed to read resolv.conf and implement their own resolver anyway (due to nss), but many still do.
