 # The Moshpit resolver, as this machine's primary DNS.
 #
-# Named 00- so it is read before DigitalOcean.conf: systemd-resolved appends
-# DNS= across drop-ins in filename order, and it uses the first server for
-# every query, rotating only on failure. So the bridge answers, and DO's
-# resolvers stay listed as a fallback for if it ever stops.
+# This must be the ONLY drop-in that sets DNS=. Delete any other — a cloud
+# image's DigitalOcean.conf, or the moshpit.conf that `moshcode dns enable`
+# used to write:
+#
+#     rm /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/DigitalOcean.conf
+#     systemctl restart systemd-resolved
+#     resolvectl status | grep -A1 'DNS Servers'   # only 127.0.0.1:5354
+#
+# A second drop-in appends its servers to the same list, and that list is a
+# trap rather than a safety net. systemd-resolved rotates away from a server
+# that fails and DOES NOT ROTATE BACK, so one restart of the bridge moves every
+# query to the fallback permanently. The fallback answers NXDOMAIN for every
+# Moshpit name, which means DNS looks healthy while the entire namespace is
+# dead — the worst shape a failure can take, because nothing is obviously
+# broken to look at.
+#
+# Observed three times in one afternoon before it was understood. `dig
+# @127.0.0.1 -p 5354 seo.rank` answered, `curl seo.rank` did not, and
+# `resolvectl status` showed the bridge listed and 67.207.67.3 current.
+#
+# A fallback also buys nothing. The bridge forwards everything it cannot answer
+# to the upstreams itself (mode=clearnet), so a second entry adds no capability
+# — only the failure above. If the bridge stops, the answer is to restart it,
+# which moshpit-dns.service already does in two seconds (Restart=always,
+# RestartSec=2). Two seconds of no DNS beats an afternoon of DNS that lies.
 #
 # There is deliberately no Domains= line, and that is the whole point.
