Re: Temporary failure in name resolution

As of right now, we have at least two people posting to debian-user

forwarding DNS service, and Debian 10.9.

Switching the nameserver lines in resolv.conf to something *other than*
the home router's DNS seems like a reasonable workaround.  Many of us
do that full-time anyway.

If anyone knows of a change to libc6 or libnss* in Debian 10.9 that might
be the underlying cause of these issues, please file a bug report or
something so it can be fixed.

Then I would

	sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

That's *one* of the methods listed on the wiki.  Just be aware that it
can leave a whole bunch of /etc/resolv.conf.dhclient-new.* files sitting
around, and be prepared to remove them.

(I use a weekly crontab job.)


Is there technical documentation that explains how name resolution works in Linux 4.19.0-16-amd64 and/or Debian 10? (e.g. design and implementation, userland tools, etc..)
