Network Manager
 http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
uses DBUS to listen for updates from eg. DHCP clients, and use that
information do mediate between different network supports.

The DBUS support of dnsmasq (how to enable it, and what methods dnsmasq
supports), is documented in this file in the dnsmasq package:
 /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq/DBus-interface.gz

DBUS is documented here:
 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus

As for concrete documentation for the NetworkManager behaviour wrt. DNS
servers, I don't have it handy, and google doesn't find any, but I will
ask on the NetworkManager mailing list.
