I use internet (personal connection from ISP). My operating System is Ubuntu 18.4. I am aware of /etc/hosts file, but it has limitation with wild card entries.



I wanted to know if Ubuntu does caching of DNS or do I need to install some other tool? There is a Network Manager installed. And Systemd is the daemon manager. Do these tools have ways of managing DNS? Do, I need to use Dnsmasq?



I have read that many people prefer Dnsmasq, but I am not sure why is it preferable? I am not sure if this can already be done by Networkmanager or systemd.
