I'm using DNSmask lcoally. Mostly it is fine. I have a line in /etc/dnsmasq.conf that read # or if you want it to read another file, as well as /etc/hosts, use # this. addn-hosts=/etc/dnsmasq.d/block.hosts.txt The idea is to have lines like 127.0.0.1 addserver.mtv.com in there so that I don't see adverts. In that, it works. But to get some sites, such as HuffPost.ca, to work, I need to allow and advertising site, guce.advertising.com. So first I commented it out of the file, started the line is a hash - "#" just like works /etc/hosts, and restarted DNSMasq. Well it still go pinged to 127.0.0.1. I presumes it was a TTL issue and waited. No it still came back. That was last night. Its still like that this morning. Now I take the like out of the file altogether. Still the problem. In fact all the lines that begin # 127.0.0.1 are like that. The hash to comment them out isn't working. Now I remove that line altogether from /etc/dnsmasq.conf and restart dnsmasq. But still a ping or nslookiup to those addresses comes back as 127.0.0.1 TTL?
