DNSMasq

Ubuntu 12.04LTS and above by default runs their own instance of Dnsmasq via the NetworkManager service.

Don't do this

Install dnsmasq to cache DNS queries

sudo apt-get install dnsmasq

echo 'listen-address=127.0.0.1' >> /etc/dnsmasq.d/listen.conf

echo 'prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;' >> /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

service dnsmasq restart

Test with nslookup debian.org localhost
