James Troup (elmo) wrote : upgrade of MAAS removes local config for bind and breaks DNS

On an Ubuntu 14.04 host, I recently upgraded MAAS from
1.5.2+bzr2282-0ubuntu0.2 to 1.5.4+bzr2294-0ubuntu1.2. This is a
production environment which uses MAAS to control both DNS and DHCP.

During the upgrade MAAS silently (without prompting) rewrote
/etc/bind/named.conf.options. However, in the process, it dropped
some of our local config and broke DNS resolution for all clients in
this environment. Specifically, it removed and did not re-add a
forwarders entry.

I've attached 3 files: the original named.conf.options, the version
left after the MAAS upgrade and an artifical diff between the two to
show what's actually changed (i.e. ignoring MAAS rearranging things,
messing up whitespace and removing comments).
