@#22: Seth Arnold,

I agree that there must be better solution. The easiest may be just changing in network-manager the configuration for dnsmasq by omitting the option --cache-size=0.
But: I am not package maintainer or developer for whoopsie, network-manager or dnsmasq and I do not fully understand your technical hints. I am just an Ubuntu user affected by this annoying bug open for more than 2 1/2 years. I do not know why whoppsie must look at DNS every minute and why network-manager starts a caching DNS forwarder without cache. I just want get rid of this dammed traffic. As far as I can see, my wrapper script helps. I will use it until the package maintainers and developers for whoopsie, network-manager or dnsmasq provide a better solution of their choice.
