I have set up a server on a nanopi-r2s running Armbian version 5.15.25-rockchip64. It all works fine apart from one thing: while other devices can successfully use BIND on the server, the server itself cannot find the local BIND.
If I type in this command host device.localdomain 127.0.0.1 it returns the following:
device.localdomain has address 192.168.0.20
192.168.0.20 is the correct address for device.localdomain from the local BIND. If I omit the 127.0.0.1 from the command, it does not find the correct address.:
device.localdomain has address 36.86.63.182
device.localdomain has address 36.86.63.182
Host device.localdomain not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
The problem seems to be that resolvconf is not adding 127.0.0.1 to resolv.conf. Here is resolv.conf:
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 2001:4489:500:102::2
nameserver 2001:4489:506:102::2
nameserver 2001:4488:0:1::76
if, just for test purposes, I manually edit /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf to add 127.0.0.1, the host command works without 127.0.0.1. Clearly, the problem is that resolvconf isn't adding the localhost address to resolv.conf. I have tried several different ways to add 127.0.0.1 to resolv.conf. This includes:
editing /etc/systemd/resolved.conf to add DNS=127.0.0.1
editing /etc/default/named to add RESOLVCONF=yes
editing /etc/network/interfaces to add dns-nameservers=127.0.0.1
None of these methods makes any difference to what appears in resolv.conf.
Here are the files:

The example I found showed the ip address in quotes, as above: I tried without the quotes as well, and that didn't work either.
