If you use the network-manager GUI to set the DNS server, then dnsmasq
should handle the name resolution.
However, if you configure the network interface and nameserver via
/etc/network/interfaces (as was commonly done in past versions), then
not only does network-manager not configure the network interface, but
it doesn't set up dnsmasq to handle name resolution.
As an alternative, you could set up name resolution via resolvconf. See
the man page for more details, but you could create
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail with contents:
nameserver (your nameserver 1)
nameserver (your nameserver 2)
The approach changed with 12.04 and I'm still wrestling with some
related problems. The above is near the limit of my newbie knowledge.

Hi all, I installed edubutu 12.04.
I noticed there's dnsmasqd installed.
On a pc running a live, I set edubuntu like dns server (192.168.0.254).
If I do
nslookup google.it
it doesn't resolve the name.
Is dnsmasq supposed to resolve it?
