There isn't an option in NetworkManager.conf to tell it to use bind /
named. I can only tell it to not manage DNS.
Using MATE, here, but I can "Edit Connections" from the network icon
in the title bar. Make my way through to the IPv4 settings, and
choose options where everything is left up to DHCP, I can override
various aspects, or go fully manual. Likewise with IPv6.
I also have that, and it sounds compatible with the NetworkManager.conf
options, where manual is telling it not to manage DNS. Do you have dhcp
set to handle IP addresses only?
I haven't done it for a while, and don't want to try in the
middle of
doing my mail, but it's always worked in the past. I could set up one
profile to use my LAN DNS server, another to use my router's.
I see the additional DNS server entry, but what would I put in there to
tell it to use the bind / named dns server? localhost:53?
127.0.0.1:53? I assume that if I turn off all other dns, then it would
be the only dns server left if I could set it. I don't see a way to
set that in the configuration file for NetworkManager. Perhaps it is
only available through the gui?
