Description Christopher Colotti 2009-04-08 05:24:48 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009022800 SUSE/3.0.7-1.1.6 Firefox/3.0.7

When using yast to configure DNS Server adding forwarders does not write the forwarders to /etc/named.conf instead it writes them to  /etc/sysconfig/network/config under the section

NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS=""

Additionally if you manually enter the proper forwarders in named.conf changing any dns settings in yast REMOVES the manual entries.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use Yast to configure DNS and forwarders
2. Try nslookup all fail
3. view NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="" in /etc/sysconfig/network/config and you will see the forwarders there
4. check /etc/named.conf and there will be no forwarders
5. manually add forwarders to named.conf
6. nslookups will now work to internet addresses
7. alter through yast the DNS server configuration
8. all lookups stop and if you view named.conf there is no longer any forwarders
Actual Results:  
failed forwader lookups

Expected Results:  
Proper lookups and population of named.conf using YAST2 DNS Server
