DNS proxy and dnsmasq interaction in Ubuntu Natty

[Miika Komu]

I've noticed that the DNS proxy messes up my DNS configuration when my laptop boots. I have to restart the proxy to make DNS usable again.

After some guess work and trial, I believe the reason is in /etc/rc2.d:

S15dnsmasq
S20hipl-dnsproxy

Dnsmasq and HIP dns proxy start roughly at the same time, and I guess Natty is launching services in parallel (instead of sequentially like in older Ubuntus). Changing the start level of the proxy from 20 to 40 solves the issue.

Try if adding "$named" to Required-Start and Required-Stop in debian/hipl-dnsproxy.init fixes your problem.

This did not quite solve the problem while it is really elegant. Another bug fix committed, feel free to contribute if you disagree.
