Re: resolvconf and dnsmasq

[Colin Ingram <cjingram@wisc.edu>]

I have one interface(public) which gets configured by dhcp from my isp 
and an interface(lan) which has static conf in /etc/network/interfaces.  
It seems the problem was that resolvconf doesn't write out information 
from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail to 
/var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf.  The information provided by my isp is 
being writing to the file(I didn't have that interface up previously)  I 
have an alternative nameserver (for when me isp's nameservers are down) 
which was listed in the old resolv.conf and it wasn't available to 
dnsmasq.  To fix the solution I added that nameserver to the static 
configuration even though it is connect to the private network only.  I 
still don't understand why the information in 
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail is not written to 
/var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf even though it shows up in /etc/resolv.conf?
