Two ways come to my mind:

  * run ./runansible <hostname>
  * edit  xsce.yml and change values for "xsce_hostname" and "xsce_domain",
and run ./runansible

Edit the same file , where "eth1" is the WAN iface

That will work, as we use the same dhcpd version.

You need to add the following snippet:

    forward first;
    forwarders {
     208.67.222.222;
     208.67.220.220;
                 };

Under "  listen-on { any; }; " arround line 17,  in the /etc/named-xs.conf.

If you want to avoid losing your changes by running runansible again,  you
can also update the template used by ansible and placed in
roles/network/templates/named/named-xs.conf.j2 and then run the following
command to apply the change:

ansible-playbook -i ansible_hosts --connection=local xsce.yml --tags=named


I will open a bug in the xsce tracker, as this configuration option hasn't
been accounted for, and also have in mind that xsce provides dansguardian
as content filter tool.

Btw, I'm working towards a replacement for both, dhcpd and bind, using
dnsmasq, in order to minimize total memory/cpu footprint, as pointed
by jnettleton
in our irc channel.
