Ante Karamatić (ivoks) wrote : MAAS needs a way of defining DNS forwarders

By default, MAAS uses root DNS servers in bind. Sometimes access to root DNS servers is not always allowed. Bind supports defining forwarders. MAAS should set forwarders based on DHCP information (if MAAS server gets IP from DHCP; sounds weird but it is deployment we've seen) or there should be an element in web UI that woul populate bind's config option and restart bind daemon. What we are looking for in bind is:

 forwarders {
  192.168.1.1;
  192.168.1.2;
 };
