The kind of remote dns that firefox has (or other browsers have).

Firefox remote dns setting:

For proficient users, they could choose proper iptables rules to redirect all udp-port-53 traffic to some sophisticated socksifier software, then use the socksifier to carry on the traffic to system network proxy.

But for less experienced users, theses steps seem insurmountable.

That's why I (or perhaps some others) think we need this function on Ubuntu. And it would be better if it's possible to exclude some local ip addresses as firefox does.

With all that said, I can fully understand if final decision is made that this function should not be put on the priority list.
