The gateway container's /etc/resolv.conf is a one-shot copy: nixos-container cps it in from the host in its start script, and nspawn's --resolv-conf=auto copies (not binds) for a writable host-netns container. systemd-nspawn(1) states the consequence outright — "no further propagation of configuration is generally done after the one-time early initialization (this is because the file is usually updated through copying and renaming)". dnsmasq has no explicit upstream and follows that file, so a host network change strands it on a resolver that no longer answers and every non-hive lookup from every agent hangs. Agents' own resolvers point at the static bridge IP and never go stale, which is why the symptom presents as "the gateway needs a kick". Add a host-side hive-gateway-resolv path unit watching /etc/resolv.conf. On change it machinectl copy-to's the file into the container and reloads dnsmasq — ExecReload is kill -HUP, so upstreams are re-read and the cache flushed without dropping anything; nginx never notices. - watched from the HOST: a rename on the host doesn't cross the nspawn mount namespace, so an in-container path unit can't see it (same reason c0re reloads nginx from the host side) - copy, not a file bind-mount: openresolv renames over the file, so a bind would pin the first inode forever — strictly worse than today - machinectl copy-to writes through the container's own mount namespace, so this holds regardless of how the container assembles /etc - armed Before=network-pre.target so the boot's first DHCP write is caught, and re-run on gateway start for changes made while it was down - a host file with no nameserver line is skipped, not pushed, so a mid-rewrite snapshot can't blank hive DNS - deliberately no fallback server=: dnsmasq queries all known upstreams in parallel, so a hardcoded public resolver would take a share of normal traffic rather than only covering the gap
