Bug#761050: openresolv sets local bind to always forward requests, even when local bind is authoritative
Hi, sorry for the late reply

The upstream said:
"Not really an openresolv bug as I see it.
For example 192.168.x.x can route to 10.x.x.x even if both sets are not
publicly route-able. In-fact some Spanish ISPs do this for their
Internet TV."
I regret to say that upstream did not understand my bug report (perhaps I
did not explain clearly). I never claimed that requests to resolve
unroutable IPs should never be forwarded; I did claim (and maintain) that IF
the local bind is set up to be authoritative on a domain (which happens to
be an unroutable block of IPs for me, but does not have to be), then
openresolv should not override that by always forwarding queries in any
case. So the problem is not about forwarding queries involving unroutable
addresses (even if that happens in my case) but about forwarding queries
that can have (and therefore should have) an authoritative answer from the
local bind, without going any further.
If I did not explain clearly, please let me know and I will try to explain
better. If you confirm wontfix, I will find a way to tweak my local
configuration of bind + openresolv to work around this for myself, but I do
believe the current behaviour is wrong in principle and in practice, so it
should be fixed in a more general way.
Bye
Giacomo
