Ján Tomko	d8bd24a9ec	Remove the space before the slash in network XML ... This matches the style we use elsewhere and allows nat-network-dns-srv-record{,-minimal}.xml to be tested in network XML -> XML test.	2013-08-28 08:05:46 +02:00
Laine Stump	4f595ba61c	network: permit upstream forwarding of unqualified DNS names ... This resolves the issue that prompted the filing of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928638 (although the request there is for something much larger and more general than this patch). commit f3868259ca disabled the forwarding to upstream DNS servers of unresolved DNS requests for names that had no domain, but were just simple host names (no "." character anywhere in the name). While this behavior is frowned upon by DNS root servers (that's why it was changed in libvirt), it is convenient in some cases, and since dnsmasq can be configured to allow it, it must not be strictly forbidden. This patch restores the old behavior, but since it is usually undesirable, restoring it requires specification of a new option in the network config. Adding the attribute "forwardPlainNames='yes'" to the <dns> elemnt does the trick - when that attribute is added to a network config, any simple hostnames that can't be resolved by the network's dnsmasq instance will be forwarded to the DNS servers listed in the host's /etc/resolv.conf for an attempt at resolution (just as any FQDN would be forwarded). When that attribute *isn't* specified, unresolved simple names will *not* be forwarded to the upstream DNS server - this is the default behavior.	2013-08-14 09:46:22 -04:00
Gene Czarcinski	8b32c80df0	network: put dnsmasq parameters in conf-file instead of command line ... This patch changes how parameters are passed to dnsmasq. Instead of being on the command line, the parameters are put into a file (one parameter per line) and a commandline --conf-file= specifies the location of the file. The file is located in the same directory as the leases file. Putting the dnsmasq parameters into a configuration file allows them to be examined and more easily understood than examining the command lines displayed by "ps ax". This is especially true when a number of networks have been started. When the use of dnsmasq was originally done, the required command line was simple, but it has gotten more complicated over time and will likely become even more complicated in the future. Note: The test conf files have all been renamed .conf instead of .argv, and tests/networkxml2xmlargvdata was moved to tests/networkxml2xmlconfdata.	2012-12-11 05:49:45 -05:00
