Hi @shantanugadgil, apologies for the very delayed reply here. You’re correct, the majority of the examples on the DNS forwarding guide do not explicitly state that 127.0.0.1 needs to be added as a nameserver (or be the only name server) in /etc/resolv.conf.
I’ll make a note of this and will try to get this updated over the next week.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
