<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>systemd-resolved</command> is a system service that provides network name resolution to local
|
||
applications. It implements a caching and validating DNS/DNSSEC stub resolver, as well as an LLMNR resolver and
|
||
responder. Local applications may submit network name resolution requests via three interfaces:</para>
|
||
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|
||
<listitem><para>The native, fully-featured API <command>systemd-resolved</command> exposes on the bus. See the
|
||
<ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/resolved">API Documentation</ulink> for
|
||
details. Usage of this API is generally recommended to clients as it is asynchronous and fully featured (for
|
||
example, properly returns DNSSEC validation status and interface scope for addresses as necessary for supporting
|
||
link-local networking).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>The glibc

<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>getaddrinfo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> API as defined
|

by <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3493">RFC3493</ulink> and its related resolver functions,
|
||
including <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>gethostbyname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. This
|
||
API is widely supported, including beyond the Linux platform. In its current form it does not expose DNSSEC
|
||
validation status information however, and is synchronous only. This API is backed by the glibc Name Service
|
||
Switch (<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>nss</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>). Usage of the
|
||
glibc NSS module <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-resolve</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
is required in order to allow glibc's NSS resolver functions to resolve host names via
|
||
<command>systemd-resolved</command>.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Additionally, <command>systemd-resolved</command> provides a local DNS stub listener on IP
|
||
address 127.0.0.53 on the local loopback interface. Programs issuing DNS requests directly, bypassing any local
|
||
API may be directed to this stub, in order to connect them to <command>systemd-resolved</command>. Note however
|
||
that it is strongly recommended that local programs use the glibc NSS or bus APIs instead (as described above),
|
||
as various network resolution concepts (such as link-local addressing, or LLMNR Unicode domains) cannot be mapped
|
||
to the unicast DNS protocol.</para></listitem>
|

</itemizedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>The DNS servers contacted are determined from the global settings in
|
||
<filename>/etc/systemd/resolved.conf</filename>, the per-link static settings in
|
||
<filename>/etc/systemd/network/*.network</filename> files, the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP and any
|
||
DNS server information made available by other system services. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>resolved.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details
|
||
about systemd's own configuration files for DNS servers. To improve compatibility,
|
||
<filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> is read in order to discover configured system DNS servers, but only if it is
|
||
not a symlink to <filename>/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf</filename> (see below).</para>
|

|

<para><command>systemd-resolved</command> synthesizes DNS resource records (RRs) for the following cases:</para>
|
||
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|
||
<listitem><para>The local, configured hostname is resolved to
|
||
all locally configured IP addresses ordered by their scope, or
|
||
— if none are configured — the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2 (which
|
||
is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the
|
||
local host).</para></listitem>
|

|

<listitem><para>The hostnames <literal>localhost</literal> and
|
||
<literal>localhost.localdomain</literal> (as well as any hostname
|
||
ending in <literal>.localhost</literal> or <literal>.localhost.localdomain</literal>)
|
||
are resolved to the IP addresses 127.0.0.1 and ::1.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>The hostname <literal>gateway</literal> is
|
||
resolved to all current default routing gateway addresses,
|
||
ordered by their metric. This assigns a stable hostname to the
|
||
current gateway, useful for referencing it independently of the
|
||
current network configuration state.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>The mappings defined in <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> are resolved
|

to their configured addresses and back, but they will not affect lookups for
|

non-address types (like MX).</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>

<para>Lookup requests are routed to the available DNS servers
|

and LLMNR interfaces according to the following rules:</para>
|
||
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|
||
<listitem><para>Lookups for the special hostname
|

<literal>localhost</literal> are never routed to the

network. (A few other, special domains are handled the same way.)</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Single-label names are routed to all local
|
||
interfaces capable of IP multicasting, using the LLMNR
|
||
protocol. Lookups for IPv4 addresses are only sent via LLMNR on
|

IPv4, and lookups for IPv6 addresses are only sent via LLMNR on
|
||
IPv6. Lookups for the locally configured host name and the
|
||
<literal>gateway</literal> host name are never routed to
|
||
LLMNR.</para></listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Multi-label names are routed to all local
|
||
interfaces that have a DNS sever configured, plus the globally
|
||
configured DNS server if there is one. Address lookups from the
|

link-local address range are never routed to
|
||
DNS.</para></listitem>
|
||
</itemizedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>If lookups are routed to multiple interfaces, the first
|
||
successful response is returned (thus effectively merging the
|
||
lookup zones on all matching interfaces). If the lookup failed on
|

all interfaces, the last failing response is returned.</para>
|

|

<para>Routing of lookups may be influenced by configuring

per-interface domain names. See

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

interfaces.</para>

concept of per-interface DNS servers and hence only contains system-wide DNS server definitions. Note that
