[Bug 1638836] Re: resolv.conf for resolved stub server should have a comment how to see the actual servers

[Thomas Hood]

Right, I think the file should only document the Ubuntu-specific things
such as the facts that by default resolvconf and the systemd resolver
are used, NetworkManager is used by default on Desktop and ifup on
Server, and so on. There have been hundreds of questions about these
basic things on AskUbuntu and the forums over the years. I have often
referred people to Stephane Graber's blog post
(https://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/) for
background info but this is as of 16.11 no longer adequate.

Title:
  resolv.conf for resolved stub server should have a comment how to see
  the actual servers

Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  resolv.conf currently just has

    nameserver 127.0.0.53

  with resolved (its local stub resolver). We should have an extra
  comment on top of that that says

    # systemd-resolved stub resolver; run "systemd-resolve --status" to
  see the actual name servers
