* Some thinking about[0][1], if not much coding of[2], a successor to ifupdown was done in the netconf project[3] led by Debian Developer martin krafft[4][5].

But there again, NM integrates bare-minimally with resolvconf; NM doesn't let resolvconf prioritize nameserver information according to interface-order(5) but sends resolvconf one big lump of nameserver information called "NetworkManager". * If Ubuntu doesn't switch to wicd or netconf or something else then another possibility to be explored is to break up NM into components that can be better integrated with other parts of the distro. This is, of course, rather difficult without cooperation from upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959037 Title: Local resolver prohibits DNS servers from running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/959037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
