Maybe there is a better way to do this, but here is my situation. I need to be able to send DNS queries to multiple dns servers in parallel and use the first response I get back (so that I use the fastest/closest dns server). On 16.04 I did this by running dnsmasq with the "all-servers" option enabled. afaict, resolved doesn't have an equivalent option. The nameservers come from a supersede rule in the dhclient configuration. But on 18.04 if resolved is running, then dnsmasq uses resolved as the nameserver, which isn't what I want, but if resolved isn't running then I run into this bug and dnsmasq doesn't get any nameservers.
