From 12.04 desktop Ubuntu has dnsmasq as the default DNS caching resolver.
This is right now not giving precedence or resolving hosts from my
/etc/hosts file. Looking up output of ps shows dnsmasq has been started
with the --no-hosts switch (did not seem like that was the defaults when I
read up docs on the net on Pangolin).
Any pointers on where the start up config for dnsmasq is taken from? I know
I can disable dnsmasq in network-manager and go back to pre 12.04
resolution mode or install dnsmasq specifically for a custom config. To do
so for just a switch makes me feel dumb.
