So, what exactly is the best way to mitigate this attack vector? While informative, the post only goes into detail about the attack; not a complete solution for the original intended purpose of the resolver setting.

Is the dnsmasq solution here[1] sufficient? Or, should I edit dhclient.conf to add the desired name servers[2]

Using "resolver 127.0.0.1" is an effective mitigation against all issues I documented.
