(Get the code!)
Triaged/Medium; it could probably indeed be dropped to a Recommend, since NM will still run without it, though with reduced functionality.
Do you mean you already have bind9 running on all clients? Or do you mean that you want them to use the bind9 instance available on the network? The latter case should still work; DNS information received from DHCP will get applied and passed on to dnsmasq as a local resolver because it allows more flexibility than the libc library, for instance, without a limitation of 3 DNS servers. If specific details about DNS resolution on your network don't work, please make sure you mention them clearly so that we can do any changes required.
As for using bind9 on each system; you can already also use bind9 instead of dnsmasq as a local resolver much like what is being done right now for dnsmasq. Change the dns= line mentioned by Thomas to dns=bind. However this has not been as well tested as using dnsmasq.
