      At the bottom of the services rfc2136 edit page there is this notice:

      "A DNS server must be configured in System: General setup or allow the DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN for dynamic DNS updates to work."

      Is that really the case?  Or is DNS resolver enabled for the localhost (127.0.0.1) sufficient?

        It just needs the ability to resolve DNS, so that's fine. That note predates the use of 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf.

          I've found a few inaccuracies and small grammatical errors here and there in the GUI.  Is there a proper place to submit changes to these? Pull request? Sorry if this was mentioned before… I do remember seeing something during the beta phase but now can't find it...

            Pull requests on github are easiest. Lot of fixes like that get submitted that way.
