===== Don’t Try to Run, Honey We periodically get mails and feature requests for making NetworkManager play better with a local caching nameserver. Why would you want to run one, you ask? Simple: speed, latency, and split DNS. [...] Cue fully-integrated, seamless local caching nameserver support for NetworkManager 0.8.2. If you have dnsmasq installed and set the “dns=dnsmasq” key in your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file then you’re all set. Distros can enable this by default, which we’ll be doing in Fedora 15 and later. Now you’ll get a local caching nameserver that will also do split DNS when you’re connected to a VPN, so that queries for resources on the secure network go to the VPN nameservers, and everything else goes to your upstream ISP. And the results get cached for speed. This already works great with dnsmasq, but there are still a few issues with the BIND plugin that mean it’s not quite ready yet.
