Comment 104 for bug 959037

Note: the dnsmasq.d file included in the new n-m release includes both "bind-interfaces" and "except-interface=lo".

This is already a big improvement. It allows standalone dnsmasq to run on a system with NM and nm-dnsmasq: standalone dnsmasq listens on interfaces other than lo and forwards queries to nm-dnsmasq at 127.0.0.1.

$ dpkg -l dnsmasq network-manager|grep ^ii

ii network-manager 0.9.6.0~git201207161259.00297f4-0ubuntu1 network management framework (daemon and userspace tools)

$ cat /etc/dnsmasq.d/network-manager
