  61
  62     <para><command>systemd-resolved</command> is a system service that
  63     manages network name resolution. It implements a caching DNS stub
  64     resolver and an LLMNR resolver and responder. It also generates
  65     <filename>/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf</filename> for
  66     compatibility which may be symlinked from
  67     <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>.</para>
  68
  69     <para>The DNS servers contacted are determined from the global
  70     settings in
  71     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>resolved.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
  72     the per-link static settings in <filename>.network</filename>
  73     files, and the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See
  74     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  75     for more details.</para>
  76
  77     <para>Note that
  78     <filename>/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf</filename> should not
  79     be used directly, but only through a symlink from
  80     <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>.</para>
