Similarly, what do we tell users who used to edit /etc/resolv.conf to do in the new system?
We tell users to never edit the '/etc/resolv.conf' file and ensure that the local resolver is listening at 127.0.0.1:53.
We should leave a comment in resolv.conf that warns the user.
Generally, the page doesn't actually say which resolver will be used. Has that been decided? Or is that intentionally undefined?
The choice of the default resolver is not yet done. From the discussion so far unbound(https://unbound.net/) appears to be the strong contender.
We've been working with the unbound people to get the features in that
we needed. It is the only one that is feature-rich enough for us to
currently use (for instance with dynamic reconfiguration when using
VPNs).
Note that FreeBSD also picked unbound recently for the exact same task.
