I am trying to set up dnsmasq as a local resolver cache on my F-12

the primary nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf.
FWIW, I've written a C program that makes this work. The program sets
up a file alteration monitor on /etc/resolv.conf. Whenever that file
changes, the code ensures that "127.0.0.1" is the first nameserver
listed there and passes the upstream server addresses to dnsmasq. A
short script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d makes sure this program
is running whenever a network interface is started. I believe it's
pretty bulletproof, and most of its configuration can be overridden from
the command line.
