[Bug 987915] Re: Man page doesn't reflect major architectural changes w/ resolvconf

[Stéphane Graber]

"man interfaces" only contains help on the options provided by ifupdown.

The DNS options are provided by the resolvconf package as ifupdown
hooks, therefore you need to look at "man resolvconf" which actually
contains the information you're after.

Title:
  Man page doesn't reflect major architectural changes w/ resolvconf

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  According to the blog post linked in the change logs for 12.04:

  * http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/

  /etc/network/interfaces is the place to put numerous dns declarations.

  "I use static IP configuration, where should I put my DNS configuration?
  The DNS configuration for a static interface should go as “dns-nameservers”, “dns-search” and “dns-domain” entries added to the interface in /etc/network/interfaces"

  However, `man 5 interfaces` makes no mention of dns-nameservers dns-
  search or dns-domain. Perhaps this should be documented.
