No DNS cache

[LL-user]

Hi LL-user,

Isn't that for setting up a DNS server? And if it were the problem here, wouldn't placing the remote DNS server directly in Network Connections not make a difference?

As I understand it dnsmasq is a local DNS cache/ caching DNS proxy. Beside that it could also provide a DHCP/TDTP server and a local DNS server in addition to an existing global DNS server.

BUT: We have only dnsmasq-base installed. Dnsmasq would interfere with Network Manager (also mentioned in the link I posted.) That means, we have no daemon (service) running.

If you have a look at /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf you'll see dnsmasq configured for DNS. You can also find the dnsmasq running on your system.

It's quite some time I tested different setups/configurations. Sorry, can't remember on top of my head and don't have my notes available at the moment.
