| Summary | 0000008: No extra empty field for DNS servers is shown | ||||||||
| Description | When I wanted to add an extra DNS server to the configuration, I had to add it to /etc/resolv.conf manually, as the interface does not show an empty DNS server field for adding new servers. After adding it manually a new field was shown with the new DNS server from /etc/resolv.conf. | ||||||||

That is by design. We saw far far too many people configuring 5, 6, 8 DNS servers on their system thinking that it would increase reliability. In fact, the more servers means a decrease DNS reliability. From experience, we know that most DNS resolving issues aren't caused by offline servers, but by misbehaving servers (e.g. a DNS server that always responds "DNS record not found"). The more DNS server configured, the more likely that a user will run into a misbehaving server. Regardless, we should allow an administrator to enter as many DNS servers as they wish. Instead of preventing additional servers, we can simply add a warning message when the number gets above 4. |
