I don't fully understand what you say here. 1. If the dnsmasq package is installed alongside network-manager then the dnsmasq server instance will not "bypass" NM's instance but will forward queries to it. 2. But that's not the main issue. This report seems to be that dnsmasq caches failed lookups as if they were NXDOMAINs. If that's true then it could be regarded as a bug in dnsmasq. You are right that this in no way implies a bug in NM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172467 Title: Dnsmasq caches negative results if it starts before the network is up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1172467/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
