Dnsmasq treats all nameservers as equivalent (except insofar as it is
instructed to use particular nameservers to resolve names in particular
domains).

The C library resolver, on the other hand, tries one nameserver at a
time in the order that their addresses are listed in resolv.conf.

If you must try the nameservers in a particular order then don't use
dnsmasq on the local machine.

If you are using NetworkManager which by default starts a slave dnsmasq
instance to serve as a local forwarding nameserver then with root
privileges edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to comment out
the line `dns=dnsmasq` (by putting a `#` at the beginning of the line)
and then restart the machine.

Title:
  dnsmasq reverses order of dns servers

Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a carefully sorted order of dns servers that my dhcp server gives out.
  When booting lubuntu, I can't resolve names that should be resolvable by the first two name servers from the list.
  The names are local private names, but since the local nameserver is first, I expect them to resolve.
  But apparently because the order has been reversed, resolving fails.

  rhialto@glicca:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  rhialto@glicca:~$ apt-cache policy dnsmasq-base
  dnsmasq-base:
    Installed: 2.68-1
    Candidate: 2.68-1
    Version table:
   *** 2.68-1 0
          500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Extract from /var/log/messages (I munged a few numbers here and there).
  Note how the order at the end is the reverse of the first one.
