Public bug reported: Trying to debug an ipv6 resolution problem on my laptop, I killed the NM-spawned dnsmasq, expecting to relaunch it by hand with the same options. Instead, I found that immediately upon killing the process, /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf was cleaned up from the filesystem. But /etc/resolv.conf was still pointed at 127.0.0.1.
Either NM should respawn dnsmasq when it's killed, or it needs to ensure the resolvconf hooks are called again to put /etc/resolv.conf into a coherent state. Also, I'm not sure if it's related, but after doing this I found that the NM indicator was no longer letting me move between wireless networks or disconnect from the wireless; so I had to turn my antenna off and back on to get dnsmasq back.
