Alkis: Suppose your host, foo, has external IP address 10.1.2.3 and runs a standalone nameserver which listens on eth0. Configure things such that nm-dnsmasq on foo uses 10.1.2.3 as its upstream nameserver; configure the standalone nameserver on foo not to listen on lo. If it's dnsmasq, start it with --except-interface=lo. Does this do what you want?
If so then this may be a very simple way to deal with #959037, at least with respect to dnsmasq. Network-manager simply drops a file with except-interface=lo into /etc/dnsmasq.d/. NM can still use the local standalone dnsmasq via the external network interface, the address of which it may receive from the DHCP server, for example. -- 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/959037 Title: NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from running, yet network-manager doesn't Conflict with their packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/djbdns/+bug/959037/+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
