dnsmasq config generated by NetworkManager



Hello!
[I'm using KUbuntu 12.04, so some paths can be system-specific]

I have an idea about customizing dnsmasq config /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf, which is generated by NM.

First, I've added some lines (like `address=/localhost/127.0.0.1` - it's really userfull, because /etc/hosts 
doesn't work with wildcards) in dnsmasq config. Then I understood that editing /etc/dnsmasq.conf gives no 
effect :) So I've found file /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf. It's generated dynamically by 
/usr/sbin/NetworkManager.

Please, think about such feature: user can create a constant prefix and suffix configs (let it be a section 
in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf) which will be included into /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf. Right 
now user can't deal with dnsmasq configuration at all.
