@Svartalf: Can you please describe in more technical detail what fails
to work on the machines in question, and share with us what you know
about the causes of these malfunctionings?  Once we have some idea what
you're talking about we can help you further.

What do you mean by "internal DNS"?

Ubuntu 12.04 *does* use DNS nameserver addresses provided by DHCP. Can
you please explain what you are talking about here?

Ubuntu software works properly in Ubuntu 12.04 (except where it doesn't
--- see the BTS). Third party software may fail to work properly, but
it's up to the third party to fix that.

Third parties who think they can dictate how free host operating systems
work can go fly a kite.  Just my personal view.
