Question
Set nameserver to 127.0.0.1
I am running bind on my 14.04 droplet. I want the first nameserver to be 127.0.0.1, then 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 as backups in case bind is down.
I can edit the /etc/network/interfaces and change the line to
dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.1
After reboot resolve.conf only shows the 127.0.0.1 entry.
I can put any other nameservers and it works just not localhost.
For example
dns-nameservers 4.2.2.2 8.8.8.8 209.244.0.3
gives me the correct lines resolve.conf
nameserver 4.2.2.2
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 209.244.0.3
What am I doing wrong?
