** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Confirmed

** Description changed:

- dnsmasq does not resolve DNS names correcty.
+ Dnsmasq sometimes does not resolve DNS names correcty.
  
- Applications like Thunderbird or tools like ssh rely on working name
- resolution. However, if there never was a working name resolution,
+ Sometimes it seems that if there never was a working name resolution,
  dnsmasq never gets to know about the DNS names.
  
  Setup:
  
  private network: 192.168.0.x/24
  domain mydomain.intern
  server: 192.168.0.1 hostname s1
  dhcp (.100 - .200) and bind running, postfix and dovecot running
  client: 192.168.0.100 (dhclient)
  
  /etc/resolv.conf
  ...
  nameserver 127.0.0.1
  search mydomain.intern
  
  /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf
  server=192.168.0.1
  
  Open Thunderbird -> Thunderbird fails to open s1
  ssh admin@s1 -> ssh: Could not resolve hostname s1: Name or service not known
  
  Adding
  nameserver 192.168.0.1
  to /etc/resolv.conf
  
  resolves the issue immediately
  
  calling sudo resolvconf -u
  
  creates the lookup problem immediately again
  
  This is a critical error
