BTW, I also disabled local dnsmasq entirely (Ubuntu Desktop 14.04), by removing it from "/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf" configuration file.

As an example, here's my generated /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf on an up to date 12.04 system: server=172.17.20.30 server=172.17.25.30 server=172.16.20.32 server=2001:470:c364:1020:e084:d1ff:fe38:c4f5 server=2001:470:c364:1025:8837:98ff:fe43:90e6 server=2001:470:b4e9:1020:218:51ff:fe5a:9949 The result is that dnsmasq will only use the IPv6 dns servers if all 3 IPv4 dns servers are marked as failed. As dnsmasq is perfectly able to detect and avoid broken DNS servers, favoritizing IPv6 servers shouldn't cause any damage even in environment where the information received by NM is wrong.
