I am certain this question has been asked however, my Google skills have been lacking in finding an answer. I have edited the inventory file and added our company’s correct settings to awx\_alternate\_dns\_servers=“10.1.2.3,10.2.3.4”. However they do not populate the /etc/resolv.conf nameserver values like awx\_container\_search\_domains=[example.com](http://example.com),[ansible.com](http://ansible.com) does.

Is this an outstanding bug or a feature that needs a workaround or what?

OK I found the issue. It took a clean install to do it but found it was. Docker uses an internal DNS address 129.0.0.11. That address will forward to the hosts configured DNS for name resolution.
