Hi,
I've just committed named dbus support to NetworkManager. This does
away with launching named as a child process, and uses an existing named
process (that has been dbus-enabled). All communication is via dbus.
Pros:
1) Implementation is much cleaner, easier to follow.
2) Will fall back to resolv.conf when no dbus-enabled named is found
3) removes almost twice as much code as it adds
4) Fixes long-standing "DNS stops resolving" bug
Cons:
1) Requires patches to named in other distributions
If you're not using a caching-nameserver already, this shouldn't affect
you and therefore you don't care. If you are using Fedora Core or you
_are_ using a caching-nameserver, you care about the following:
o Update to bind-9.3.1-14, currently in Rawhide
o Modify your /etc/sysconfig/named to include the line:
OPTIONS="-D"
o Start named on startup:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 named on
And you're good to go. Rawhide RPMs will come along soon.
Dan
