Bug Description

In the section "Name resolution for instances" (doc/source/admin/config-dns-res.rst) the functional description for case 2 and 3 is wrong.

In both cases, the DHCP agents do not offer the mentioned IP addresses to the instances. Instead, the DHCP agents offer the list of IP addresses of DHCP agents in the respective subnet to the instances in that subnet. The DHCP agents then run dnsmasq as a forwarding and masquerading resolver, forwarding DNS requests from the instances to the configured IP addresses, i.e. to the ones configured in ``dnsmasq_dns_servers`` in case 2 and to the ones configured in ``/etc/resolv.conf`` on the host in case 3.

    Fix documentation for DNS resolver config

    We need to correctly describe what is really happening: The dnsmasq
    processes in the DHCP agent act as forwarding masquerading resolvers for
    the instances in their particular subnets.
