[Bug 959037] Re: Don't start local resolver if a DNS server is installed

[Bert Voegele]

Just as a short reminder, there are more DNS-resolver/server available as packages out there than just bind and dnsmasq, i.e. djbdns and it's derivates. Until I removed the annoying dns=dnsmasq line in /e/N/Nconf, NM disconnected the WLAN after a couple of minutes, throwing an error about dnsmasq not able to bind to 127.0.0.1.
I'm  puzzled about the default inclusion of dnsmasq as a local resolver for standard users. If a connection is to be shared, it might be useful to bind dnsmasq to the shared iface to provide DHCP and DNS, like it's done with libvirt-bin.
