[Bug 959037] Re: NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from starting

and ubuntuforums.

It's possible that a large portion of Ubuntu users that are using dnsmasq as a DNS server, only use LTS releases, so complains might only show up after 2 years.
E.g. in 300 schools here we settled with disabling the nm-spawned dnsmasq from NetworkManager.conf, and haven't seen the implemented solution yet.
Btw please don't backport the current solution to Precise, the "bind-interfaces" part will break all those existing setups.
The nss-based solution does sound like it wouldn't cause any problems at all, though.
