RESOLVCONF.CONF(5)          System Manager's Manual         RESOLVCONF.CONF(5)


NAME

     resolvconf.conf -- resolvconf configuration file


DESCRIPTION

     resolvconf.conf is the configuration file for resolvconf(8).  The
     resolvconf.conf file is a shell script that is sourced by resolvconf(8),
     meaning that resolvconf.conf must contain valid shell commands.  Listed
     below are the standard resolvconf.conf variables that may be set.

     After updating this file, you may wish to run resolvconf -u to apply the
     new configuration.


RESOLVCONF OPTIONS

     interface_order
             These interfaces will always be processed first.  If unset,
             defaults to the following:-
                   lo lo[0-9]*

     dynamic_order
             These interfaces will be processed next, unless they have a met-
             ric.  If unset, defaults to the following:-
                   tap[0-9]* tun[0-9]* vpn vpn[0-9]* ppp[0-9]* ippp[0-9]*

     search_domains
             Prepend search domains to the dynamically generated list.

     search_domains_append
             Append search domains to the dynamically generated list.

     name_servers
             Prepend name servers to the dynamically generated list.  You
             should set this to 127.0.0.1 if you use a local name server other
             than libc.

     name_servers_append
             Append name servers to the dynamically generated list.

     private_interfaces
             These interfaces name servers will only be queried for the
             domains listed in their resolv.conf.  Useful for VPN domains.
             This is equivalent to the resolvconf -p option.

     state_dir
             Override the default state directory of /var/run/resolvconf.
             This should not be changed once resolvconf is in use unless the
             old directory is copied to the new one.


LIBC OPTIONS

     The following variables affect resolv.conf(5) directly:-

     resolv_conf
             Defaults to /etc/resolv.conf if not set.

     resolv_conf_options
             A list of libc resolver options, as specified in resolv.conf(5).

     resolv_conf_passthrough
             When set to YES the latest resolv.conf is written to resolv_conf
             without any alteration.

     resolv_conf_sortlist
             A libc resolver sortlist, as specified in resolv.conf(5).


SUBSCRIBER OPTIONS

     openresolv ships with subscribers for the name servers dnsmasq(8),
     named(8), pdnsd(8) and unbound(8).  Each subscriber can create configura-
     tion files which should be included in in the subscribers main configura-
     tion file.

     dnsmasq_conf
             This file tells dnsmasq which nameservers to use for specific
             domains.

     dnsmasq_resolv
             This file tells dnsmasq which nameservers to use for global
             lookups.

             Example resolvconf.conf for dnsmasq:
                   nameservers=127.0.0.1
                   dnsmasq_conf=/etc/dnsmasq-conf.conf
                   dnsmasq_resolv=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf

             Example dnsmasq.conf:
                   listen-address=127.0.0.1
                   conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq-conf.conf
                   resolv-file=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf

     named_options
             Include this file in the named options block.  This file tells
             named which nameservers to use for global lookups.

     named_zones
             Include this file in the named global scope, after the options
             block.  This file tells named which nameservers to use for spe-
             cific domains.

             Example resolvconf.conf for named:
                   nameservers=127.0.0.1
                   named_options=/etc/named-options.conf
                   named_zones=/etc/named-zones.conf

             Example named.conf:
                   options {
                        listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
                        include /etc/named-options.conf;
                   };
                   include /etc/named-zones.conf;

     pdnsd_conf
             This is the main pdnsd configuration file which we modify to add
             our forward domains to.  If this variable is not set then we rely
             on the pdnsd configuration file setup to read pdnsd_resolv as
             documented below.

     pdnsd_resolv
             This file tells pdnsd about global nameservers.  If this variable
             is not set then it's written to pdnsd_conf.

             Example resolvconf.conf for pdnsd:
                   nameservers=127.0.0.1
                   pdnsd_conf=/etc/pdnsd.conf
                   # pdnsd_resolv=/etc/pdnsd-resolv.conf

             Example pdnsd.conf:
                   global {
                        server_ip = 127.0.0.1;
                        status_ctl = on;
                   }
                   server {
                        # A server definition is required, even if emtpy.
                        label="empty";
                        proxy_only=on;
                        # file="/etc/pdnsd-resolv.conf";
                   }

     unbound_conf
             This file tells unbound about specific and global nameservers.

             Example resolvconf.conf for unbound:
                   nameservers=127.0.0.1
                   unbound_conf=/etc/unbound-resolvconf.conf

             Example unbound.conf:
                   include: /etc/unbound-resolvconf.conf
