SYSTEMD.DNS-DELEGATE(5) systemd.dns-delegate SYSTEMD.DNS-DELEGATE(5) NAME systemd.dns-delegate - DNS Server Delegation Configuration SYNOPSIS /etc/systemd/dns-delegate.d/*.dns-delegate /run/systemd/dns-delegate.d/*.dns-delegate /usr/local/lib/systemd/dns-delegate.d/*.dns-delegate /usr/lib/systemd/dns-delegate.d/*.dns-delegate DESCRIPTION *.dns-delegate files may be used to delegate DNS lookups in specific domains to specific DNS servers. These files are read by systemd- resolved.service(8). Each such file defines a combination of one or more DNS servers and one or more DNS domains. Each such definition synthesizes a DNS lookup scope that ensure lookups below the specified domains are sent to the specified DNS servers, possibly in addition to any per-interface scopes and the global scope that systemd-resolved maintains anyway. [DELEGATE] SECTION OPTIONS DNS= Takes one or more DNS server specifications, in the same syntax as the option of the same name in resolved.conf(5). Added in version 258. Domains= Takes one or more domain name specifications, in the same syntax as the option of the same name in resolved.conf(5). Added in version 258. DefaultRoute= Takes a boolean value, defaults to off. Controls whether this DNS server is a candidate for looking up records for which no better route exists. Added in version 258. EXAMPLES Example 1. # /etc/systemd/dns-delegate.d/foobar.dns-delegate [Delegate] DNS=203.0.113.47 Domains=foobar.com This ensures lookups of "foobar.com" and any domains below it are directed to DNS server 203.0.113.47.
