This binds a DNS proxy + server to port 53 on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1). + + The /etc/resolv.conf file needs a "nameserver 127.0.0.1" + entry, but can now set the immutable bit or be on a read-only + filesystem. No further modification to that file will be made. + + It is important that this is not used together with other + DNS proxy solution like dnsmasq. + + --enable-loopback + + Enable setup of loopback device + + For distributions with a really minimal init system and no + networking scripts this can take care of setting up the + loopback device and enabling it. + + It is safe to select this option even if networking scripts + are in place. It detects an already configured loopback + device and leaves it as it is. + + --enable-polkit + + Enable support for PolicyKit authorization + + This allows to check every D-Bus access against a security + policy and so restrict access to certain functionality. +
