NetworkManager has three DNS backends: default (nss-dns, what we use
currently), dnsmasq, and systemd-resolved. The default backend just
does the wrong thing and cannot be fixed. When either dnsmasq or
systemd-resolved is in use, NetworkManager will go ahead and do the
right thing by telling dnsmasq/systemd-resolved which network
interfaces should be used to resolve which hostnames. I consulted
with the NetworkManager developers and they recommended
systemd-resolved over dnsmasq, although I understand that dnsmasq is
good too.
Will the ability to turn off NetworkManager involvement in DNS in the
configuration file (None) still remain? I use a local caching DNS
server, and had to do that in order to allow it to run without
interference / override by NetworkManager.
