> At this point though, the simplest way to deal with this remains to edit interfaces= to map to the relevant external interfaces (eth0, wlan0, etc.) and let the NM-spawned instance get started on lo.
We can't do that; we need DNS caching for thin client sessions which run on the server with DNS=127.0.0.1. We need to completely disable the nm dnsmasq spawning. > You need to restart network-manager after changing the configuration value. Thank you, I think that's too much to do from a postinst so I'll probably document it as part of the installation process. For the record, I think that the proper way to solve the problem is from libc itself. Ask Simon to allow calling dnsmasq like a library, or communicate with it via a socket, whatever's needed, but no :53 port hooking, this is reserved for real DNS servers, not for helpers for libc shortcomings.
