@Simon: This is pretty much what I had in mind (comment #88) as a long-term solution. How difficult do you think that this would be?

(Moving nm-dnsmasq listening to another port than 53 is at best a veeery long-term solution since it requires first getting glibc enhanced, then getting all other resolver libraries enhanced, then waiting for third-party static binaries to be replaced by new versions built against enhanced libraries. That's a ten-year project.)

If "bind-interfaces-dynamically" works well then I see no reason why it shouldn't be the default mode of operation. Indeed, I see no reason why it shouldn't be the *only* mode on OSs with support for it.
