[Bug 959037] Re: Don't start local resolver if a DNS server is installed

If you mean something like:
except-interface=lo
bind-interfaces

...I just tested them and they do allow both dnsmasq instances to run.

But of course those settings won't be acceptable to most dnsmasq users,
as listening on "lo" is usually desired too (local DNS cache; DHCP/TFTP
for VMs etc). So I don't think that crippling the default dnsmasq
functionality is a good way to solve this problem. DNS clients shouldn't
hook port 53; it's reserved for DNS servers.
