openresolv-discuss

Thanks for the suggestion. I may have to do that.

The dhclient.leases file indicates that 192.168.10.1 is first in the list
of DNS servers. And there is only one lease.

 option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.1,92.220.228.70,109.247.114.4;

I notice that the name servers in /etc/resolv.conf are listed in numerical
order. However, I found no sort in /sbin/resolvconf or in
/sbin/dhclient-script.

I also notice that the name resolver assumes that all DNS servers have the
same information. It stops trying to resolve names at the first server that
works. That is not the way I would have designed it.


Greetings,
