I reformatted over 14.04 and installed 16.04 as a fresh start. I use a slightly customized server install ISO image that includes my own preseed file for automation. My approach is to start with a bare-bones server install on all machines and then install extra packages based on the machine's function (ubuntu-desktop on workstations, for instance). According to my installation logs, dnsmasq was installed during an "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop unity-tweak-tool" on a workstation (which of those two packages actually resulted in a dependency on dnsmasq I don't know), and on a server it was installed during an "apt-get install polipo".

When dnsmasq is installed, and static IP addresses are used, resolv.conf creates a nearly empty /etc/resolv.conf file. The file only contains entries for localhost and the search domain. If static IP addresses are defined in /etc/network/interfaces, then shouldn't those DNS servers should be included in /etc/resolv.conf regardless of the presence of dnsmasq?
