This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
This reverts commit 670b4e29ad. The change
added in this commit was controversial when it was originally suggested
in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/29205. Then that PR was closed
and a new one opened, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/29503,
effectively circumventing the review process. I don't agree with this
modification. Adding an option 'resolveLocalQueries' to tell the locally
running name server that it should resolve local DNS queries feels
outright nuts. I agree that the current state is unsatisfactory and that
it should be improved, but this is not the right way.
(cherry picked from commit 23a021d12e)
When the user specifies the networking.nameservers setting in the
configuration file, it must take precedence over automatically
derived settings.
The culprit was services.bind that made the resolver set to
127.0.0.1 and ignore the nameserver setting.
This patch adds a flag to services.bind to override the nameserver
to localhost. It defaults to true. Setting this to false prevents the
service.bind and dnsmasq.resolveLocalQueries settings from
overriding the users' settings.
Also, when the user specifies a domain to search, it must be set in
the resolver configuration, even if the user does not specify any
nameservers.
(cherry picked from commit 670b4e29ad)
This commit was accidentally merged to 17.09 but was intended for
master. This is the cherry-pick to master.
* The module now has systemd config
* Add resolveLocalQueries option which sets up it as a dns server for
local host (including reasonable setup of resolvconf)
* Add "dnsmasq" user for running daemon
* Enabled dbus and dnssec support for the package

Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
