Dear list,

my computer is connected to a LAN, from which it obtains its
IP and also local-DNS-server IP via DHCP. The latter is then
inserted into /etc/resolv.conf by, I believe, resolvd. The
computer is furthermore connected via wireguard VPN to
another network with its own DNS server, serving the local
IPs there. The DNS server in my LAN, of course, does not
know the (non-public) IPs in the remote network. However, as
it comes 1st in /etc/resolv.conf, the nameserver that comes
next (I manually added it to the file) --- and which would
know the answer --- is never asked. I can stop resolvd and
use the DNS server within the VPN for all the traffic. But
I'd still prefer to have most of the work done by the local
DNS server, and only if it doesn't know I would ask the
server in the VPN. Is there anything simple I can do?

Thank you for your comments.


Best regards,
Ruda
