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

[Thomas Hood]

> Btw please don't backport the current solution to Precise

In comment #110 MTL said that backporting the fix to Precise *is*
planned.

Quantal includes dnsmasq 2.63 which has the new "bind-dynamic" option.
In bind-dynamic mode dnsmasq works as it does in bind-interfaces mode
but also updates its list of listen addresses whenever network
interfaces are configured and deconfigured. It appears to work well. In
bind-dynamic mode, as in bind-interfaces mode, standalone dnsmasq is
compatible with NM-dnsmasq listening at 127.0.1.1. I would suggest
therefore that if the switch from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.1.1 for NM-dnsmasq
is backported to Precise then dnsmasq 2.63 should simultaneously be
backported to Precise and dnsmasq should be forced into bind-dynamic
mode rather than into bind-interfaces mode.
