This makes you sad when you're on a network that depends on redirecting web requests via DNS to a registration page. (For instance, the Middle East's network, although free, requires you to click okay on a web page on every session.) I haven't tested this with a MITnet-unregistered machine, but it seems like it would be a problem there, too, e.g., if you just installed debathena-workstation on a new machine from PXE. There appears to be code in /etc/resolvconf/update.d/bind to configure bind's forwarders to be what the other resolvconf sources say your DNS servers should be, which would be a perfect fix. Is that not getting triggered for some reason?" defect closed low The Distant Future -- wontfix
