For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
We said that ~domains "do not define a search path", which is mighty confusing,
because this is exactly what they do. So let's try to make this a bit easier
for the reader: start by saying that there are two things going on here, and
describe each one from user's POV.
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
Widely accepted certificates for IP addresses are expensive and only
affordable for larger organizations. Therefore if the user provides
the hostname in the DNS= option, we should use it instead of the IP
address.
DNSOverTLS in strict mode (value yes) does check the server, as it is said in
the first few lines of the option documentation. The check is not performed in
"opportunistic" mode, however, as that is allowed by RFC 7858, section "4.1.
Opportunistic Privacy Profile".

Change the resolved.conf Cache option to a tri-state "no, no-negative, yes" values.
If a lookup returns SERVFAIL systemd-resolved will cache the result for 30s (See 201d995),
however, there are several use cases on which this condition is not acceptable (See systemd#5552 comments)
and the only workaround would be to disable cache entirely or flush it , which isn't optimal.
This change adds the 'no-negative' option when set it avoids putting in cache
negative answers but still works the same heuristics for positive answers.

The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
RFC7766 section 4 states that in the absence of EDNS0, a response that
is too large for a 512-byte UDP packet will have the 'truncated' bit
set. The client is expected to retry the query over TCP.
Fixes#10264.
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.

This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
The configuration option was called -Dresolve, but the internal define
was …RESOLVED. This options governs more than just resolved itself, so
let's settle on the version without "d".
Let's not mention the supposed security benefit of turning off caching. It is
really questionnable, and I#d rather not create the impression that we actually
believed turning off caching would be a good idea.
Instead, mention that Cache=no is implicit if a DNS server on the local host is
used.
In some cases, caching DNS results locally is not desirable, a it makes DNS
cache poisoning attacks a tad easier and also allows users on the system to
determine whether or not a particular domain got visited by another user. Thus
provide a new "Cache" resolved.conf option to disable it.
This adds logic to detect cases like the Fritz!Box routers which serve
a private DNS domain "fritz.box" under the TLD "box" that does not
exist in the root servers. If this is detected DNSSEC validation is
turned off for this private domain, thus improving compatibility with
such private DNS zones.
This should be fairly secure as we first rely on the proof that .box
does not exist before this logic is applied. Nevertheless the logic is
only enabled for DNSSEC=allow-downgrade mode.
This logic does not work for routers that set up a full DNS zone directly
under a non-existing TLD, as in that case we cannot prove
that the domain is truly non-existing according to the root servers.
