i like to know if there is others that have problem to use 127.0.0.1 as dns server on there linode hosts ?
with dhcp it will use linode public dns, but that will not work for me since i query non free dns servers that linode does not pay for, thats why i like to use localhost with is free
as it is now this is a show stopper for me, and i think about why none other have seen this as a problem that should be solved so clients can select linode public dns, and localhost own dns server, networking admins i work with says its the way to go with non forwarding dns querys, forwarding breaks dnssec, and there is possible more that does not work that i do not know of yet
with gentoo i have /etc/conf.d/net
modules="iproute2"
config_eth0="176.58.121.172/24 2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fe69:4ef7/128"
routes_eth0="default via 176.58.121.1 default via 2a01:7e00::"
dns_servers="127.0.0.1"
dns_search="mydomain.example.org members.linode.com"
dns_domain="mydomain.example.org"
after rebooting ping and ping6 works, linode admins can ping my host ips just fine
but not all daemond start
eg dovecot started after boot, but i could not restart it without fails, and after boot i was not able to start apache, gentoo belived network is down and would like to start it, with fails since it is started, hmm
if i turn over to dhcp then all works except it does not use my own bind
how do i resolve it ?
