caching> That's one good reason where this is currently failing. The NM instance won't cache. That's disabled on purpose, but we'll re-enable for 12.10 or later once we can have per-user caches and something secure.
library> unfortunately, that won't help. library use, with not being able to keep state (e.g. have I tried this server yet? did it respond?) is one of the issues we're fixing with dnsmasq, which can't be tackled by a library.
Using dnsmasq via dbus is a likely good way to fix this, but there are countless possible issues with assuming that the centrally running instance of dnsmasq is the one you also want to use for resolving your own stuff, and to update with information from DHCP.
