[snipped lots of good info] I think the failure might have something to do with NetworkManager. It seems that it has no way to set it to use a local bind / named instance as its nameserver. It always uses DNS servers set by the router (etc/resolv.conf), or systemd-resolved, or dnsmasq. I am trying a file dns.conf added to /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d with [dns] dns=none rc-manager=unmanaged to see if I can get NetworkManager leave dns alone so queries will use named, instead of trying to manage dns itself. dnsmasq also provides a minimal caching dns server, but I can't see a way to tell it to use the local named caching dns server instead of going to dns servers on the web for forwarding. Perhaps I will be forced to use it if I can't get NetworkManager to use the local dns server. I must be missing something. I can't believe there is no way that NetworkManager can be set to use a local bind based dns server. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
