I think the solution is going to be to require the OS to have a

dropping support for configuring itself (i.e. it doesn't want to be a
usable caching nameserver for roaming laptops), then dnsmasq may be what
we need to use.
This is *exactly* what dnsmasq is designed for. From what I can tell,
the author added dbus support to dnsmasq *specifically* so
NetworkManager could use it. I'm not sure what's up with the disconnect
here. :)
