+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>Domains=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>A space-separated list of domains. These domains are used as search suffixes when resolving
+ single-label host names (domain names which contain no dot), in order to qualify them into fully-qualified
+ domain names (FQDNs). Search domains are strictly processed in the order they are specified, until the name
+ with the suffix appended is found. For compatibility reasons, if this setting is not specified, the search

+ are configured in it. This setting defaults to the empty list.</para>
+
+ <para>Specified domain names may optionally be prefixed with <literal>~</literal>. In this case they do not
+ define a search path, but preferably direct DNS queries for the indicated domains to the DNS servers configured
+ with the system <varname>DNS=</varname> setting (see above), in case additional, suitable per-link DNS servers
+ are known. If no per-link DNS servers are known using the <literal>~</literal> syntax has no effect. Use the
+ construct <literal>~.</literal> (which is composed of <literal>~</literal> to indicate a routing domain and
+ <literal>.</literal> to indicate the DNS root domain that is the implied suffix of all DNS domains) to use the
+ system DNS server defined with <varname>DNS=</varname> preferably for all domains.</para></listitem>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>DNSSEC=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument or
+ <literal>allow-downgrade</literal>. If true all DNS lookups are
+ DNSSEC-validated locally (excluding LLMNR and Multicast
+ DNS). If the response to a lookup request is detected to be invalid
+ a lookup failure is returned to applications. Note that
+ this mode requires a DNS server that supports DNSSEC. If the
+ DNS server does not properly support DNSSEC all validations
+ will fail. If set to <literal>allow-downgrade</literal> DNSSEC
+ validation is attempted, but if the server does not support
+ DNSSEC properly, DNSSEC mode is automatically disabled. Note
+ that this mode makes DNSSEC validation vulnerable to
+ "downgrade" attacks, where an attacker might be able to
+ trigger a downgrade to non-DNSSEC mode by synthesizing a DNS
+ response that suggests DNSSEC was not supported. If set to
+ false, DNS lookups are not DNSSEC validated.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that DNSSEC validation requires retrieval of
+ additional DNS data, and thus results in a small DNS look-up
+ time penalty.</para>
+
+ <para>DNSSEC requires knowledge of "trust anchors" to prove
+ data integrity. The trust anchor for the Internet root domain
+ is built into the resolver, additional trust anchors may be
+ defined with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dnssec-trust-anchors.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Trust anchors may change at regular intervals, and old trust
+ anchors may be revoked. In such a case DNSSEC validation is
+ not possible until new trust anchors are configured locally or
+ the resolver software package is updated with the new root
+ trust anchor. In effect, when the built-in trust anchor is
+ revoked and <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> is true, all further
+ lookups will fail, as it cannot be proved anymore whether
+ lookups are correctly signed, or validly unsigned. If
+ <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> is set to
+ <literal>allow-downgrade</literal> the resolver will
+ automatically turn off DNSSEC validation in such a case.</para>
+
+ <para>Client programs looking up DNS data will be informed
+ whether lookups could be verified using DNSSEC, or whether the
+ returned data could not be verified (either because the data
+ was found unsigned in the DNS, or the DNS server did not
+ support DNSSEC or no appropriate trust anchors were known). In
+ the latter case it is assumed that client programs employ a
+ secondary scheme to validate the returned DNS data, should
+ this be required.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to set <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> to
+ true on systems where it is known that the DNS server supports
+ DNSSEC correctly, and where software or trust anchor updates
+ happen regularly. On other systems it is recommended to set
+ <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> to
+ <literal>allow-downgrade</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition to this global DNSSEC setting
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ also maintains per-link DNSSEC settings. For system DNS
+ servers (see above), only the global DNSSEC setting is in
+ effect. For per-link DNS servers the per-link
+ setting is in effect, unless it is unset in which case the
+ global setting is used instead.</para>
+
+ <para>Site-private DNS zones generally conflict with DNSSEC
+ operation, unless a negative (if the private zone is not
+ signed) or positive (if the private zone is signed) trust
+ anchor is configured for them. If
+ <literal>allow-downgrade</literal> mode is selected, it is
+ attempted to detect site-private DNS zones using top-level
+ domains (TLDs) that are not known by the DNS root server. This
+ logic does not work in all private zone setups.</para>

+ <term><varname>DNSOverTLS=</varname></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Takes false or
+ <literal>opportunistic</literal>. When set to <literal>opportunistic</literal>
+ DNS request are attempted to send encrypted with DNS-over-TLS.
+ If the DNS server does not support TLS, DNS-over-TLS is disabled.
+ Note that this mode makes DNS-over-TLS vulnerable to "downgrade"
+ attacks, where an attacker might be able to trigger a downgrade
+ to non-encrypted mode by synthesizing a response that suggests
+ DNS-over-TLS was not supported. If set to false, DNS lookups
+ are send over UDP.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that DNS-over-TLS requires additional data to be
+ send for setting up an encrypted connection, and thus results
+ in a small DNS look-up time penalty.</para>
+
+ <para>Note as the resolver is not capable of authenticating

+ <listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. If <literal>yes</literal> (the default), resolving a domain name

+ is particularly high when DNSSEC is used.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that caching is turned off implicitly if the configured DNS server is on a host-local IP address
