[BB #278] Extend strict-order/no-resolv to all the DNS resolutions (currently available only on Stubby/dnscrypt-proxy) + allow user to re-order servers

rs232 created an issue 2023-03-10

Two requests in one as they are strictly related:

‌

a)

The dnsmasq’s settings strict-order/no-resolv are currently available only if Stubby or dnscrypt-proxy is enabled. Since we have other resolving technologies e.g. dnscrypt to mention one but this could easily be an upstream Pi-Hole, etc. it is a good idea to have the setting extended to a global context within FT.

‌

b)

When the option is set to strict-order or no-resolv, allow the user to re-order the DNS server list manually. perhaps a good approach is to introduce a drag’n drop HTML5 list where elements can be shuffled around. e.g. https://baseweb.design/blog/drag-and-drop-list/

If the resolv preference is set to no-resolv the same “list of servers” can be used but greying out any defined server other than the first one in the list.

Perhaps a good idea to rename things to be more user-friendly e.g.

the setting “Priority” to “Resolv Policy”
the option “no-resolve“ to “only-first“
the option “none” to “any-available“

‌

‌

Potentially… if content of the list can also be edited (adding DNS servers manually) this could become the single place to go in FT where to define servers and handle the resolution preference.
