Description

If:

  • A name server is manually configured, such as 8.8.8.8, under System > General
  • That same name server is also assigned dynamically (DHCP, PPPoE, etc)
  • And DNS Server Override is unchecked

Then that name server is incorrectly omitted from the system name servers.

It looks like the code is trying to avoid duplication, but didn't account for this case.

This seems to primarily be a problem just after unchecking the DNS Server Override box, as later the servers are prevented from being in the list originally. So there is somewhat of a race condition at play.

Easiest way to reproduce:

  • Enable forwarding in the DNS Resolver (Or forwarder, behavior is likely the same but I only checked resolver)
  • Check DNS Server Override on System > General, save, then reboot or at least save/apply WAN)
  • Set a DNS server on System > General that is the same as one supplied via DHCP on WAN, save
  • Check that it's in /var/unbound/unbound.conf as a forward-addr entry
  • Check DNS Server Override on System > General, save, and check /var/unbound/unbound.conf and see if the manually added entry is a forward-addr

Without this change, the DNS server will be missing from the list (and if they all overlap, there will be no forwarders and resolving will fail). With this change, it should be a forward-addr either way.
