Don't know. I'm working on it now: seems to be behaving: dnsmasq: new IPv4: 192.168.3.1 dnsmasq: new IPv6: fe80::f0f6:48ff:fe15:70b0 > > (Moving nm-dnsmasq listening to another port than 53 is at best a veeery > long-term solution since it requires first getting glibc enhanced, then > getting all other resolver libraries enhanced, then waiting for third- > party static binaries to be replaced by new versions built against > enhanced libraries.

I see reasons: I've been burned by releasing changes that "won;t affect anything" too many times, I like the idea of making the new behaviour opt-in.

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.
