From ff63ac922a4017de8a5d384b1c0be36433436ed8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2024 15:14:02 +1000 Subject: conf: Add --dns-host option to configure host side nameserver When redirecting DNS queries with the --dns-forward option, passt/pasta needs a host side nameserver to redirect the queries to. This is controlled by the c->ip[46].dns_host variables. This is set to the first first nameserver listed in the host's /etc/resolv.conf, and there isn't currently a way to override it from the command line. Prior to 0b25cac9 ("conf: Treat --dns addresses as guest visible addresses") it was possible to alter this with the -D/--dns option. However, doing so was confusing and had some nonsensical edge cases because -D generally takes guest side addresses, rather than host side addresses. Add a new --dns-host option to restore this functionality in a more sensible way.
