On the "DHCP and DNS" page of the graphical UI (LuCI), there is an option named "Local Service Only" with a description of the option. The option reads as follows:
"Limit DNS service to subnets interfaces on which we are serving DNS."
This is a very confusing description of whatever it is this option is intended to do. For comparison, this is a bit like saying "Delivery of food is only provided in locations where we provide food delivery."
There is an option in dnsmasq called "no-dhcp-interface" whose description is similar to the one provided for the option in question here; I am guessing that this might have been the intended treatment.
Version of openwrt:
OpenWrt 19.07.4 r11208-ce6496d796
Steps to reproduce:
See the option labeled "Local Service Only" on the LuCI page for "DHCP and DNS"
Expected results:
Option description should match an option or combination of options available in dnsmasq in a clear, non-circular fashion.
Actual results:
Uncertainty as to what this option is supposed to do, written in an obvious and intuitive manner.
Workaround:
Avoiding any use of this option until its meaning is clarified in the description.
Additional:
It may be that the intention was to implement something like the no-dhcp-interface option of dnsmasq. I cannot tell from the UI, but the description as it stands seems to indicate that. Hopefully, clarifying what this option actually does do will help avoid confusing user support issues.
