pdf: It sounds to me as if you are using the wrong GNU/Linux distribution. You demand a perfect one, whereas Ubuntu is not perfect. Perhaps you should switch to one of the perfect distributions?

If "search domains are not working" for your colleagues then please ask them to look in /etc/resolv.conf to see if the "search" line in there is correct. If it is not correct then please file an informative bug report against resolvconf. If it is correct then please file an informative bug report against network-manager (if that's what they are using).

Regarding issue #1000244, let's carry on talking about that in #1000244.

This report (#1003842) is about dnsmasq and the problem of its not being suitable for networks with nonequivalent nameservers. This is, in my opinion, an important problem. I look forward to further constructive discussion of ways to solve it.
