OpenWRT: Resolving the /etc/resolv.conf lack of proper DNS resolution.

Header Shadow Image

OpenWRT links /etc/resolv.conf to /tmp/resolv.conf and only adjust entries in /tmp/resov.conf if $localuse is enabled in the UI:

The above entered as text, is:

DHCP and DNS -> [General Settings] -> [Local domain] : openwrt.mds.xyz mds.xyz nix.mds.xyz mws.mds.xyz

DHCP and DNS -> [General Settings] -> Allow localhost : Yes

DHCP and DNS -> [General Settings] -> Local Service Only : Yes

Cheers,
AD
