Really half assed - I changed to dnsmasq then changed distro because of the mess DNS is in 17.04 - worst Ubuntu release since switching from Redhat to Ubuntu about 10 years ago and all down to this single issue (and tbh one of the worst issues of breakage of something that previously worked I've seen in nearly 25 years of linux experience).

Changing one of the most critical subsystems seems to have been done with little testing (esp home use not with corporate dns) and lack of attention to bug reports during beta and post release.

with all the hurt and pain in the world it's stuff like this that truly make it all worth it... the lights, the lightning, the earth. thank you
