After several years of releases and updates of the ASL, and others requesting this same feature, I still consider the DHCP Server implementation to be "incomplete" in that it doesn't provide the feature to automatically assign DNS server IPs from the External Interface's DHCP handshake with the ISP. Internet Service Providers all assign one or more DNS Servers during their DHCP protocol. This is the typical and normal mode of operation with ISPs.
When I set up the ASL DHCP Server for my internal LAN, I shouldn't have to jump through esoteric hoops to get the DNS Server IP information that the ISP provides via DHCP in the first place. This feature has been requested before, and it's a no-brainer to boot.
With the current method, if the ISP changes their DNS IPs and then propogate the update via DHCP (which is the correct way to do it), then the typical ASL setup will fail!
So I would like know, what's the motivation for NOT providing DNS server addresses on the back end (DHCP Server, DNS Proxy, etc) as assigned by the External Interfaces's DHCP provider on the front end? Why the reluctance to add something so fundamental and elementary as this?
