[Bug 1698023] Re: netplan does not allow a top-level 'nameservers' stanza

[Lukas Märdian]

Moving it over to the netplan.io project, as nplan is deprecated.
Also, I'm marking it as a "Wishlist" item, which could be considered to be implemented as a new feature.

Title:
  netplan does not allow a top-level 'nameservers' stanza

Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in nplan package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The netplan draft spec calls for 'nameservers' to be allowed as a top-
  level stanza.  It is currently only implemented as a per-device
  configuration.

  While we've discussed that the nameserver addresses should really just
  be associated with the interfaces which route to those addresses,
  'nameservers' is also how you define the DNS search path as would be
  included in /etc/resolv.conf.  A machine's DNS search path is not a
  function of which interfaces are currently up, and needs to be
  globally definable.

  If we decide this is client configuration that's out of scope for
  netplan, we should clarify the spec to not list 'nameservers' at the
  top level.

  If we decide that it is in scope, but that we still don't want to
  support declaration of global nameservers just the search path, we
  should fix this to be e.g. 'domain-search' at the top level.
