Relevant to my question above: > What would be the best way to implement this, Simon?
is what Simon wrote in #928524 comment #12: --- BEGIN QUOTATION --- I'm wondering about adding a _third_ mode, which is has a desirable mixture of the properties of the current two (--bind-interfaces and NOT --bind-interfaces). Essentially, dnsmasq would bind the addresses of individual interfaces rather than the wildcard address, making it less of a bully for other dnsmasq instances or DNS servers, but it would use netlink to track the creation of new interfaces or the addition of new addresses to existing interfaces, and automatically bind them as required. This mode is inherently Linux-specific, since it needs netlink to work. You could either just use it as the default, or as a less problematic alternative to --bind-interfaces to be dropped into the system dnsmasq by networkmanager. --- END QUOTATION --- -- 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.
