1) Searching servers in order is IMHO not as problematic as the author of dnsmasq suggests. If an udp packet gets lost, a name does not get resolved, because you may switch to the following nameserver. Yet, it is sufficient to retry the operation to have a good chance of success. Which is exactly the behavior that you get with the libc resolv.
2) An alternative would be not to search sequentially, but to keep asking the other nameservers, in case the first that answers fails resolution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003842 Title: Precise NM with "dns=dnsmasq" breaks systems with non-equivalent upstream nameservers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1003842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
