[Bug 1003842] Re: dnsmasq sometimes fails to resolve private names in networks with non-equivalent nameservers

Untargeted the dnsmasq part of it from 12.04.1 as we realistically won't
get a change in dnsmasq by then.

Switching back to strict-order is a bad idea for the reasons listed in
bug 903854, namely, we'd loose our biggest advantage from using dnsmasq.
But there should be a middle ground here where servers would usually be
checked like in strict-order and any server not responding in
$AMOUNT_OF_TIME is automatically skipped for later queries + a watchdog
querying the server from time to time to see if it's back to life.

** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu Precise)
    Milestone: ubuntu-12.04.1 => None
