Very nice be have Consul as Primary DNS server for my infrastructure.

But when i try to use Bind & Consul together, with multiple possible configurations i cannot do a normal usage of the Service Discovery by Consul.

Why we cannot add standard DNS server functional to Consul and go Bind to die.

Hi,

We didn't want to take on the complexity of a full, general DNS server
in Consul. Lots of folks use BIND and then delegate just the .consul
subdomain to Consul, or use Consul as primary and set up -recursor up
to another DNS system. This guide might be useful -
https://www.consul.io/docs/guides/forwarding.html. Hope that helps!
