[Bug 1699660] Re: systemd-resolve breaks resolution of local network hostnames

[Forest]

According to the systemd documentation, UseDomains only affects systems
that get their network setup from DHCP, which is not the case at my
site.  Furthermore, it is documented as a way to add a DNS search
domain, which would not help resolve hosts that have no domains.

So far, the only way I have found to fix the breakage is to manually
disable systemd-resolve and configure a resolver that actually works
properly.

Title:
  systemd-resolve breaks resolution of local network hostnames

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty), resolution of my local
  network's host names is completely broken.  Apparently the upgrade
  replaced my existing resolver with systemd-resolve, which deliberately
  refuses to pass "single-label" domain names to my domain name server.
  That is the server where all my network's host names are kept, so I
  can no longer resolve any of them.

  Apparently, this is yet another example of Poettering's upstream decisions causing denial of service to people who have been saddled with his malware.

  Would someone sensible please put a stop to this forced breakage
  during upgrade, and advise on how to fix it now that the damage has
  been done?
