I'm on Ubuntu 14.04. This is affecting me. I'm sharing my wifi connection. The problem is that there's a server that has to be queried from a DNS outside of my normal one, but since dnsmasq is using default DNS servers set by dhcp, the devices behind this shared wifi connection can't connect to that specific server. I need to add a line to dnsmasq configuration, such as server=/this.specific.server/specific.dns.ip I found no way to do it and even trying to send a message with dbus did not work (for me). Probably I could not sort it out.
I have the specific server ip hardcoded in the /etc/hosts file. If dnsmasq respected the /etc/hosts file, then the hosts behind the shared wifi connection could have obtained the right ip address for the server. It's very strange to hardcode dnsmasq parameters into the C code rather than leaving it out to some configuration file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993298 Title: Please make NetworkManager-controlled dnsmasq respect /etc/hosts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/993298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
