Bug Description

The dns_server setting for a subnet doesn't reflected in dhcpd.conf.

E.g.
maas ... subnets read
.
.
.
    {
        "cidr": "10.97.36.0/24",
        "dns_servers": [
            "109.71.160.1"
        ],
.
.
.

cat /var/lib/maas/dhcpd.conf
.
.
.
    subnet 10.97.36.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
           ignore-client-uids true;
           option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
           option broadcast-address 10.97.36.255;
           option domain-name-servers 185.13.91.126; #<- this is the MAAS server
.
.
.

This is MaaS 2.0rc1

Hi György,

I was wondering if you could provide a bit more information of what you are trying to do? MAAS 2.0 provides a really nice support for DNS and you can set upstream servers that you want MAAS DNS to resolve to. This would allow you not only have MAAS resolve the local maas managed machines DNS names, but also have MAAS forward to your DNS on the network for upstream DNS connectivity.

The problem is that in our environment, the DNS traffic to the MaaS server is firewalled. So I tought setting the DNS in the subnet should use that DNS server directly (otherwise what is this setting is good for?).
