Title:
  12.04 impossible to set manual dns in /etc/network/interfaces when
  bind is installed

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 Server
  resolvconf : 1.63ubuntu11
  network-manager : not installed

  When setting manual dns servers in /etc/network/interfaces, they are
  always overridden by 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf when bind is
  installed. Which makes it impossible to set manual dns servers. This
  becomes a serious issue when bind is configured to be authoritative
  and not recursive for the use on a web server for instance.

  If bind is uninstalled and that the computer is rebooted, resolvconf
  correctly uses the values in /etc/network/interfaces . If bind is
  reinstalled and that the computer is rebooted, resolvconf put
  127.0.0.1 again in resolv.conf

  /etc/network/interfaces :
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.1.100
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 192.168.1.1
  dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
