What do you mean by "internal DNS"?

Ubuntu 12.04 *does* use DNS nameserver addresses provided by DHCP. Can you please explain what you are talking about here?

Ubuntu software works properly in Ubuntu 12.04 (except where it doesn't --- see the BTS). Third party software may fail to work properly, but it's up to the third party to fix that.

Third parties who think they can dictate how free host operating systems work can go fly a kite. Just my personal view.
