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

[Thomas Hood]

If "libnss-nm-dns" would make it easier to introduce per-user caching
and/or if it improved security then those would be important benefits.

Currently nm-dnsmasq has caching disabled because of concerns about
cache poisoning and information leakage.

resolving

If there have already been discussions of per-user caching in Ubuntu
then someone please give me the link.

The only approach that I have seen so far is per-user nscd in Solaris
and (I now see) FreeBSD.
