I tested bind-interfaces and except-interface=lo in the past (comment #26), it worked as advertised. I haven't yet tested them in the chained dnsmasq mode, but I guess it would work if I'm using a static IP (which isn't always the case for LTSP servers, some teachers use their laptops for LTSP servers). With a dynamic IP, I'd have to open the NM-connection editor all the time to update my primary DNS server. So a loopback address for the dnsmasq service would be preferred locally, while the non-loopback one would again be required for the LTSP clients.
> Network-manager simply drops a file with > except-interface=lo What I meant in comment #51 is that libvirt then won't be able to ship with > except-interface=lxcbr0 because it's a syntax error to specify 2 except-interface directives. Maybe it could be allowed in some future dnsmasq version, with the list of declared interfaces being merged. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959037 Title: NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from running, yet network-manager doesn't Conflict with their packages Status in “djbdns” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As described in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-dns- resolving, network manager now starts a dnsmasq instance for local DNS resolving. That breaks the default bind9 and dnsmasq installations, for people that actually want to install a DNS server. Having to manually comment out "#dns=dnsmasq" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf doesn't sound good, and if it stays that way, it should be moved to the bind9 and dnsmasq postinst scripts. Please make network-manager smarter so that it checks if bind9 or dnsmasq are installed, so that it doesn't start the local resolver in that case.
