For clarify what exactly discussed feature did (nothing more). When
you get
nameservers from DHCP dhcdbd tells to named through DBUS that named
should use them as forwarders and NetworkManager sets 127.0.0.1 as
default nameserver in resolv.conf. So you could use named as
caching-nameserver on laptops and you don't have to edit named.conf
always when you move to different network. I think it makes sence add
this feature to some light DNS server but not into named. It's simply
too heavy-weight solution.
But if you are running DNSSEC on your local laptop, and the network only
allows dns to their forwarding nameservers, it is quite useful....
Also upstream will never accept such feature
because this is not primary BIND mission. Domain name modification
should be done with nsupdate utility through DDNS update message which
is part of DNS protocol.
But I don't think nsupdate can modify the forwarders configured right?
