Martin:

	I was thinking of a clean way to introduce the forward nameserver info
for the nameservice that the XS provides. The nice way that dnsmasq uses
the namesevers in /etc/resolv.conf got me thinking that we could run
dnsmasq on lo only and point bind to the use lo as the forwarder. This
requires dnsmasq to listen on 127.0.0.1 and bind on 172.18.0.1. The
resolv.conf.in file wound need to be removed from git, so the OS could
manage resolv.conf on its own.

Thoughts?
