[Cialug] Ubuntu 14.04 & dnsmasq

[Matthew Nuzum]

Regarding adding settings to resolv.conf, are you running into the
perennial resolvconf problem? If so, the way to have your changes persist
through a reboot is listed here: http://askubuntu.com/a/51332

As far as your primary problem with dnsmasq, I don't know what would cause
that, but dnsmasq has always worked very well for me. It does aggressively
cache lookups, so maybe if your upstream DNS returns a bad lookup then it's
getting cached.
