The idea is good and we should enable this sort of thing in the future,
but we need better integration here.

1) NM needs to write out an /etc/resolv.conf that points to 127.0.0.1
when people are using a local caching nameserver

2) What do we do when some other process (bind or a non-dbus-enabled
dnsmasq) is already bound to port 53?  What's the failure mode here?
Fall back to writing out a real resolv.conf?

3) Need some method of telling NM to use a local caching nameserver,
either via the command line or via the system settings service or
something like that
