Tips and tricks
Defining multiple values for options
The man page does not mention it, but to define multiple values, for options that support it (e.g. name_servers
, resolv_conf_options
etc.) in /etc/resolvconf.conf
, you need to write them space separated inside quotes. E.g.:
/etc/resolvconf.conf
resolv_conf_options="edns0 single-request" name_servers="192.168.35.1 fd7b:d0bd:7a6e::1"
