I have marked this issue as affecting dnsmasq since we may want to implement a solution there along the lines of #28 or similar.
I have marked this issue as affecting resolvconf since we may want to implement a fix there along the lines of #29 or similar. (In the absence of NM and in the presence of dnsmasq, resolvconf also feeds a nameserver list to dnsmasq.) ** Summary changed: - Precise NM with "dns=dnsmasq" breaks systems with non-equivalent upstream nameservers + dnsmasq sometimes fails to resolve private names in networks with non-equivalent nameservers -- 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/1003842 Title: dnsmasq sometimes fails to resolve private names in networks with non- equivalent nameservers Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: A number of reports already filed against network-manager seem to reflect this problem, but to make things very clear I am opening a new report. Where appropriate I will mark other reports as duplicates of this one. Consider a pre-Precise system with the following /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 8.8.8.8 The first address is the address of a nameserver on the LAN that can resolve both private and public domain names. The second address is the address of a nameserver on the Internet that can resolve only public names. This setup works fine because the GNU resolver always tries the first- listed address first. Now the administrator upgrades to Precise and instead of writing the above to resolv.conf, NetworkManager writes server=192.168.0.1 server=8.8.8.8 to /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf and "nameserver 127.0.0.1" to resolv.conf. Resolution of private domain names is now broken because dnsmasq treats the two upstream nameservers as equals and uses the faster one, which could be 8.8.8.8.
