[ale] Multi-label names

[Todor Fassl]

You mean add the equivalent values to /etc/systemd/resolv.conf? Nothing.

I actually copied a working resolv.conf from another machine to 
/etc/systemd/resolv.conf and restarted systemd.resolvd. The resulting 
/etc/resolv.conf file (actually a symlink to 
../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf) was the same. I even deleted 
the ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf and then restarted 
systemd.resolvd to make sure it was generating a new file. No joy.

I am not totally surprised that experiment did not work though. I think 
the resolv.conf is correct as far as it goes. It is the behaviour of the 
thing listening at 127.0.0.53 that is in question.
