Yeah, that's fair. I kinda thought that'd be the case, but wasn't sure
what the people over here's thoughts would be

Right- My programming skills aren't the best, but I'll give it a go
:). Where do you think the DNS option should go in the main config
file? Something like `DNSv4` and `DNSv6` in the `Network` section, or
should the `IPv4` and `IPv6` sections be added, each with their own
respective `DNS` entries?

Also, apologies to Denis for accidentally doing a reply instead of a
reply-all initially, I don't participate in mailing lists that often.
