I am using 'dns=dnsmasq' and would like to specify a fallback DNS
server that is always appended to the list of servers in the
auto-generated dnsmasq.conf. Is that possible?


Hi,

you can drop a file with additional configuration for dnsmasq into the
/etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ directory, as:

  echo "server=1.2.3.4" > /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/static-server

and reactivate one of the connections (or restart NM).

Note that dnsmasq sends a request to all known servers at the same
time and accepts the first valid reply it receives, so the new server
will receive all queries as the other ones (unless you restrict it to
specific domains using the "server=/domain/1.2.3.4" syntax).
