The parsing of /etc/default/dnsmasq won't fly.

Please, do post your dnsmasq configuration so we can try to figure out
the right way to integrate this with the current setup.

As for the set of resolvers on the network, that's not exactly the
"plan": all systems used to have the libc resolver. Now any system that
runs NetworkManager will also be running a local dnsmasq instance since
that handles a bunch of issues (more than three servers, split DNS,
broken IPv6 DNS, etc) far better than libc. Then they can easily speak
to a network DNS server if necessary or resolve directly to the
internet.

I don't understand how your systems are setup, and I think that's where
the confusion come from. What I'm expecting is that the LTSP server also
runs a dnsmasq daemon to provide resolving to all the LTSP clients; with
none of the clients running dnsmasq "locally". Isn't that the case?

I do think there are simpler ways to fix this than doing a sed of the nm
configuration.
