The Sisyphean Task of DNS Client Config on Linux

I guess you've heard of dnsmasq which I'm pretty sure can do all you want.

Perhaps it doesn't count as bare.

[EDIT: not only do many other mention this, but the article does too! my bad]

Yes, we built our own DNS server in Rust, we're aware of dnsmasq. The problem we'd like to resolve is not having to have a SPOF DNS server we're responsible for in between our users VMs and the Internet.

The prospect of running dnsmasq on every VM we launch is to aversive to consider. At that point, we'd just put a DNS recursor in our init.

Multiple redundant servers? I'm way out of my depth here, but if a spof is your main problem, perhaps you just need some redundancy?
