I think I've been unclear. Using NetworkManager with *bind* is a relatively unusual use case. dnsmasq with NetworkManager for resolution is what we're aiming for *by default*, and that's what also part of the default install. Everything has been put in place so that split VPN and such are correctly addressed with NetworkManager spawning dnsmasq as necessary, which is what dns=dnsmasq achieves.
I'm not sure in this case what you mean by breaks two packages. There's a lot of benefits to having a local resolver other than the libc one (split DNS, faster and more efficient resolution, etc.). I do feel we've tested this well, thoroughly, and that it's very cooperative and efficient. Please, tell me more about your setup so we can make sure we cater for this use case before release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959037 Title: Don't start local resolver if a DNS server is installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/959037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
