The problem seems to have been resolved in 17.04, I haven't hit it since I upgraded.

It usually happens when I change networks and after resume from suspend, for example going to home from work, or vice versa. When this happens, connectivity is fine (I can ping 8.8.8.8 for instance), but I cannot resolve names (eg. google.com). Restarting network-manager instantaneously fixes the issue. Curiously I have not found this bug on Launchpad.
