So after switching to GNOME3 the Network Manager GUI works again (or maybe a restart could've achieved the same for Unity), where setting up custom DNS servers is an option, and it gets correctly transliterated into /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf.
Of course setting up a chain of resolvers seems a bit overkill, so maybe providing an option for disabling the NM-controlled dnsmasq would be the best (and the user could then punch in 127.0.0.1 via the GUI, or by setting up a system-connection config file in /etc/NetworkManager/). -- 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/1012656 Title: Add ability to customize the "embedded" DNSmasq configuration Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There is already a patch, submitted to the networkmanager-list ( https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager- list/2012-June/msg00011.html ) on Jun 1, so this is just a tracking bug, however, hopefully it at least shows that there's some interest in customizing the dnsmasq command line that NetworkManager uses to launch the caching resolver.
