Mathieu, some help please?

After my ltsp-pnp package comments out dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, it runs
invoke-rc.d dnsmasq restart from its postinst,
but that fails as the nm-spawned dnsmasq instance is still listening on port 53.

And if I kill it before starting the normal dnsmasq, that leaves the DNS configuration broken...

How can I tell resolv.conf and network-manager to reload their configurations?
Is it necessary to restart the network-manager service? And if it is, is that enough? I'd hate to have to tell the users that they need to restart their servers... :(

Thanks!
