Title:
  systemd.resolved with split domains sends DNS requests to the wrong
  interface

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When connected simultaneously to two different networks with overlapping domains
  $ resolvectl domain
  Global:
  Link 3 (wlp0s20f3): ~. mit.edu
  Link 2 (enp0s31f6): ~. psfc.mit.edu
  $ resolvectl dns
  Global:
  Link 3 (wlp0s20f3): 18.0.70.160 18.0.72.3 18.0.71.151
  Link 2 (enp0s31f6): 198.125.177.103 198.125.179.203,

  a DNS request for resolution of a name such as
  LIBPROXY.GLB.MIT.EDU
  is by default sent to the nameservers of Link 3 (e.g. 18.0.70.160) but via Link 2 (enp0s31f6)

  This request is refused, presumably because it is seen by those nameservers as coming from
  an external network, which ought not to be asking for name resolution from them.

  It seems that it ought to be the default behavior that requests for name resolution are sent
  only over the interface whose nameservers are being queried, or else that queries go only to the nameservers that are associated with the interface over which the query will go out.
