I would like to use dnsmasq to cache nameserver query results, and I have set dhcp to prepend the 127.0.0.1 name-server to the list of nameservers. dnsmasq would then automatically exclude the localhost as a name server and use all the others from the list provided by dhcp.
But it was too nice to be true, because NetworkManager was there, ready to mess up anything I try to do, including the list of name servers that dhclient puts in /etc/resolv.conf.
Is there really no way to convince that idiotic piece of software that it suffered too much brain damage in order for it to manage even a simple eth0 interface, and that dhclient can properly take care of the resolver configuration by itself ?
Or do I have to turn it off entirely ?
Is there a better way to have dhclient write the list of DNS servers, that dnsmasq could then use ?
Have a look in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/11-dhclient
you might be able to figure out a tweak to put 127.0.0.1 back in.
Yes, the script enumerates and runs the dhcp-plugin scripts in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/. I tried to create such a script there, but NetworkManager still does not run it.
What NM thinks it is doing remains a mystery ...
Thank you, Timothy Madden
