(Workaround was introduced to Network Manager). In the mean-time upstream are now looking at inotify support for dnsmasq-2.61 to reduce the residual polling overhead in the longer-term (will miss 2.60 as that's nearly out).
** Package changed: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) => network-manager (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946754 Title: dnsmasq does not respect/watch '/etc/hosts' updates Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Network Manager now fires up a dedicate dnsmaq process for DNS resolution. This dnsmasq process does not notice changes to '/etc/hosts', requiring one to jump through hops when this file is changed. Ideally dnsmasq should purge itself when '/etc/hosts' is changed.
