Tried to follow the documentation on Ubuntu Server 15.04 with no luck. I
have activated LXC_DOMAIN="lxc" in /etc/default/lxc-net, then  created
/etc/dnsmasq.conf and added server=/lxc/10.0.3.1 (there is no
NetworkManager installed). Tried to reboot, but still getting "ping:
unknown host container.lxc". It seems that dnsmasq doesn't read the
config.

Title:
  Make .lxc domain name resolution easier to discover and enable

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The lxc package on ubuntu does almost nothing to help a user enable
  DNS resolution for containers via dnsmaq, let alone discover that it
  is possible. How about enabling it by default? I think all it would
  take is adding server=/lxc/10.0.3.1 to a file in
  /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ and uncommenting LXC_DOMAIN="lxc" in
  /etc/default/lxc-net.

  Even if there's a good reason not to enable this by default, shouldn't
  it at least be clearly documented someplace obvious instead of buried
  in a system config file with a misleading comment that mentions the
  wrong dnsmasq file to edit? (The one currently mentioned by
  /etc/default/lxc-net does nothing on ubuntu desktop systems, because
  ubuntu's NetworkManager starts dnsmasq with a special config
  directory.)
