My machine runs ArchLinux, with NetworkManager and dnsmasq. Dnsmasq should forward all requests to Google's DNS 8.8.8.8, and therefore should simply act as a local cache in front of Google's DNS.

For some odd reason, some domains like analytics.google.com do not resolve on my machine, but if I manually edit /etc/resolv.conf to specify 8.8.8.8 directly, they work.

/etc/resolv.conf:

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 127.0.0.1

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

# Configuration file for NetworkManager.
# See "man 5 NetworkManager.conf" for details.
[main]
dns=dnsmasq

/etc/dnsmasq.conf (only the relevant part, everything else is commented):

server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4
