Presumably bind9 is configured to forward all queries to the DNS servers specified by NetworkManager.

Since programs only read /etc/resolv.conf when the are started, this was presumably necessary to allow a system to connect to a different network without having to restart all programs. I wonder what changed in Dapper...
