I just installed bind9 and was surprised to see that in its default configuration named behaves just like dnsmasq in bind-dynamic mode. That is, it listens on port 53 at all addresses assigned to interfaces. When interfaces are created or configured, named starts listening on those as well. With this behavior, it shouldn't often (ever?) be necessary to configure named to listen on the wildcard address.

Is there any nameserver out there that does still conflict with nm-dnsmasq listening at 127.0.1.1:53?
