+Subject: [PATCH] connectivity: configure network interface for DNS resolution
+
+Use the same interface that it's being checked for the DNS resolution.
+
+This makes connectivity check work in an scenario where the primary
+interface has lost connectivity (for example ethernet) but you still
+have connectivity through a secondary interface (e.g. wireless).
+
+What happens in that case is that even though you have correct
+connectivity in the secondary interface the check fails because it does
+not use that secondary interface to resolve the name of the test URL.
+The result is that the connectivity check assumes that this secondary
+interface is also failing and it penalizes the metrics in the routing
+table.
+
+This commit uses libcurl's CURLOPT_DNS_INTERFACE to set the DNS
+interface. Notice that this requires 'libcurl' to be compiled with
+'--enable-ares'.
