Description

With dnsmasq and unbound disabled, and instead using Bind/named, the setting DNS Resolution Behavior under System / General Setup does not add 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf.

It does not appear to cause any issues, as dns lookups seem to default to using localhost (e.g. update checks and DNS Lookup page still work). Given, it's unclear why there are checks for these processes, rather than explicitly setting localhost unless Use remote DNS Servers, ignore local DNS is used.

Additionally, should ::1 for IPv6-only scenarios be taken into account?
