[Bug 1510293] [NEW] NetworkManager dnsmasq dependency for static ip but not dhcp

 

Public bug reported:

TLDR version: with dnsmasq disabled in
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf my DHCP NM connection resolves
names just fine. However, when using a Static IP NM with the same
default gateway, dns's, etc., then names do not resolve correctly.
Granted, these are names on an internal network (e.g. "google.com" still
resolves just fine in either case, as do other pages/sites). Reboots do
not seem to have any effects.

Here's my askUbuntu post, for more detail (e.g. nmcli output for both cases):
