[Bug 1094345] Re: IPv6 DHCP record is too late in resolvconf interface-order

[Thomas Hood]

The proposed new interfaces-order file that I just posted (comment #11)
can be compared with the current one.

=== BEGIN ===
# interface-order(5)
lo.inet*
lo.dnsmasq
lo.pdnsd
lo.!(pdns|pdns-recursor)
lo
tun*
tap*
hso*
em+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))*
p+([0-9])p+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))*
eth*
ath*
wlan*
ppp*
*
=== END ===

Here is the diff betweent them.

Title:
  IPv6 DHCP record is too late in resolvconf interface-order

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using /etc/network/interfaces rather than NetworkManager on this
  machine. resolvconf is always writing the IPv4 nameservers and search
  domains before the IPv6. I would like the IPv6 resolver information to
  be given priority or a method to select the behavior.

  kjotte at pegasus:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet6 auto
      dhcp 1
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  kjotte at pegasus:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
