You're far from the first person to ask that question. The answer is that there is no possible response in the DNS protocol which means I don't know. NXDOMAIN or NODATA answers _don't_ mean that; they mean I know that this domain doesn't exist. They also make up quite a large proportion of the DNS results returned to the average host, so that all of those queries would suddenly take much longer. Yes, I realize that the problem is with the setup of the intranet, that should not add names to a domain that is known on the internet or invent a subdomain of something that is on the internet. But as a workaround, having a switch to activate wait for further answers if you get an 'it does not exist' would be nice for those willing to pay the price of a longer wait (or possibly even auto-activate it if a dns is detected to be on an intranet).

[Bug 993794] Re: Precise resolvconf+dnsmasq setup breaks login in some wireless networks
No, unfortunately, I do not think it is that. If I start with my machine OFF, I switch it on and boot, then I already have the issue. The machine connects to the wifi, but when I open the browser I cannot reach the authentication screen because the name of the authentication host cannot be resolved. If I try to resolve it with 'host' or 'dig', it cannot be resolved. If I copy the nameserver entries from the dnsmasq configuration to /etc/resolv.conf then everything is fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993794 Title: Precise resolvconf+dnsmasq setup breaks login in some wireless networks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/993794/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Let me add that the /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf contains 3 servers set by nm on activation of the wireless interface and received via dhcp. The first one is internal. The other ones are external. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993794 Title: Precise resolvconf+dnsmasq setup breaks login in some wireless networks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/993794/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
