If you want to listen on an address which doesn't appear on an interface (ie 127.0.1.1) then you have to use --listen-address. The rules for 127.0.0.1 are slightly arcane too: If you use -interface and --except-interface, then dnsmasq will assume that you want it to listen on the address of any loopback interfaces it finds as well. In practise that means 127.0.0.1 So dnsmasq --interface=eth0 will listen on the address(es) of eth0 and 127.0.0.1. If you use --listen-address, then dnsmasq assumes you want more control and only uses the addresses you actually give so dnsmasq --listen-address=127.0.1.1 will _not_ listen on 127.0.0.1 Given this, it makes sense to use 127.0.1.1 (or any address in 127.0.0.0/8 that doesn't appear on lo) for nm-dnsmasq. Because 127.0.1.1 doesn't appear on lo, another dnsmasq instance will not try and listen on it, and the only thing required to get the two dnsmasq instances to co-exist is --bind-interfaces.

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.
