Public bug reported:

There is a local network, with two DNS servers, and a DHCP server.  They
are both correctly configured and entirely functional, with correct
zoning (bind9) for split-horizon DNS. This has been a working
configuration for years.  DHCP is configured so that clients use these
internal DNS  servers.

There is no configuration in /etc/network/interfaces, so this is
entirely run by network-manager.   When the wireless configuration comes
up, rather than pointing at the LAN dns servers, it points at 127.0.0.1.
I can identify no process providing the caching servics, ps -ax | grep
ns, name, bind,  all come up empty.  Whatever is doing name resolution,
it is not using the LAN's DNS servers, because none of the internal zone
entries are available.  While public name resolution works,  ssh to
other systems on the LAN fail because the internal zone host names are
never found.

If I manually place the local dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf,
everything works fine for a few minutes, when something overwrites it
back to 127.0.0.1
