It adds one more level of indirection in what is already a torturous resolution chain. You can kill the process with no visible adverse effect and may want to disable it permanently. dhclient will fill all your DHCP needs.

May 5, 2013 at 20:36	comment	added	user732		On which machine, 'A' or 'B', does dnsmasq run? Does dnsmasq do DHCP as well as DNS? What is the value of the "resolv-file" parameter in dnsmasq.conf?
May 5, 2013 at 20:35	comment	added	tink		If browsing works DNS can't be the problem. No matter what service is querying the nameserver, they do it in the same manner. Are both A and B using DHCP to get their network configured?
