[Bug 1800329] [NEW] Ubnutu 18.04 LTS KDE Neon does not resolve local (or single name) queries through DHCP assigned DNS (cached) server on local network

[Venca B Spam]

Public bug reported:

Ubnutu 18.04 KDE Neon does not resolve local (or single name) queries
through DHCP assigned DNS (cached) server on local network.

** How to reproduce? **

1. Let's have local network (e.g. 192.168.123.0/24) connected to the Internet through router called GATE
2. The GATE provides local DNS server cache (via Dnsmasq) and contains couple of local name translations (e.g. SuperCooolLocalServer pointing to 192.168.123.50).
3. Let's have fresh new Ubuntu 18.04 (KDE Neon)
4. Connect to the local network through WIFI (WPA2 encrypted, jsut enter password)

** What happens? **

Any desktop application trying to connect to SuperCooolLocalServer will
fail when resolving the name to IP.

When tested in terminal "host SuperCooolLocalServer" will return
SERVFAIL.

** What is expected? **

The system should resolve the name SuperCooolLocalServer to
192.168.123.50 as it did until Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

** Observation **

The system should do the resolution in the same logic as other home
appliances running various operating systems (my iPhone, my wife's
Galaxy, ours Ubuntu 16.04LTS, Windows 7, 8.1 10 and our other network
components running various Linux based distributions.)

I did quick test and the bug shows also on clean Ubuntu 18.04 (without
the KDE Neon flavour).
