I was reading about bind-interfaces at http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/FAQ and I'm wondering, are there any use cases that will have problems with bind-interfaces and the standalone dnsmasq instance?
* Suppose a teacher boots her laptop (==LTSP server) without a network cable plugged in. Dnsmasq starts (will it only listen on lo?), and after a few minutes she decides to plug in the network cable and boot the LTSP clients. Will dnsmasq be listening on eth0 in that case? * The same can happen if she has configured network manager with a user-connection, not a system-wide one. Dnsmasq will start on boot; eth0 will get an IP only after she logs in. Will she have to restart dnsmasq after login to make it work? * Also, what if she was previously using a dynamic IP and she decides to set up a static IP? Will she have to restart dnsmasq after changing her IP? -- 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 starting 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.
