I'm an old school linux guy, and I will say I'm not a fan of systemd, but I'm trying to evolve because it's here to stay. Network management is killing me.

My goal is simple. I don't need a caching resolver on this server. I simply need resolve.conf it to point to the local IP which is running bind9.

How can I make my resolv.conf look like:

search ecaiken.com
nameserver 172.16.10.189
nameserver 172.16.10.12

... and survive reboots and system updates? I'd like to disable the caching resolver to never start again. I've read everyone's post on how to disable systemd-resolved, which isn't the right path. I've tried creating stub files with DNSStubListener=no. I can't seem to get systemd to stop trying to help me.

Since I'm running bind9 on this server the local caching resolver is causing problems for the local machine.

    What happens when you disable systemd-resolved? I.e, why is it not the "right path?" Commented Nov 9, 2023 at 21:48
  • OT : You know that you can still stay with good old openrc with gentoo or equivs. Commented Nov 19, 2023 at 20:42

  • Thx. Two points. 1). I understand that etc/systemd is under selinux control. 2). How do I tell resolvectl to use my.conf Commented Nov 10, 2023 at 22:48
  • 1) Doesn't matter 2) All the *.conf files in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ are used by default. You'll have just to restart it to make it use the conf file. Commented Nov 11, 2023 at 8:15
