This beefs up the DNS stub logic to listen on two IP addresses: 127.0.0.53 (as before) + 127.0.0.54 (new). When the latter is contact our stub will operate in "bypass" mode only, i.e we'll try to pass DNS requests as unmodified upstream as we can (and not do mDNS/LLMNR and such, also no DNSSEC validation – but we'll still do DNS-over-TLS wrapping). This is supposed to be useful for container environments or tethering: this stub could be exposed (via NAT redirect) to clients of this system and we'll try to stay out of the way with doing too much DNS magic ourselves, but still expose whatever the current DNS server is from upstream under a stable address/port. How to use this: # iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p udp -i <interface> --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.54:53 # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/route_localnet
