At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
Upgrade a 10.04 server/mythtv-backend/mythtv-frontend/bind9 server and dhcp3-server to 12.04. 2. the behavior you expected, and I expected my resolver, ie bind9, and my dhcp server to work as they have for years. The dhcp server assigns DNS, IP's etc as set by the administrator. 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible). All the ubuntu clients and servers upgraded to 12.04 added a second dns cashing server. I already have two bind9 servers on the LAN, adding and requiring another less secure dns resolver aka dnsmasq to every machine is unwise. I should be able to uninstall dnsmasq without forcing or otherwise breaking things when I have bind9. $ sudo apt-get remove dnsmasq-base [sudo] password for cp: Reading package lists...
