Having just re-read the discussion, I realize that I may have misunderstood the problem. I'll try to summarize it.
Wolf, are you saying that when using the NM-enslaved dnsmasq, fully qualified domain names can always be resolved using the resolver(3) but short domain names cannot be resolved using the resolver, despite the correct "search" option being present in /etc/resolv.conf; that this anomaly does not occur at boot time, but does occur later and lasts one to thirty minutes? What triggers the anomaly to occur? I will assume that in the anomalous situation, /etc/resolv.conf contains the following nameserver 127.0.0.1 search rsb.intern rsb.at and /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf contains the following server=10.1.0.4 and the following fails with "unknown host s4". ping s4 When the anomaly occurs, does "dig s4.rsb.intern" work on the affected system? When the anomaly occurs, does "dig s4 +search" work on the affected system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998712 Title: domain name completion broken when dnsmasq is used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/998712/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
