The /etc/resolv file has to point to the local server, and the local server has to know the address of the upstream relay.
For instance, network manager likes to modify the /etc/resolv.conf file, perhaps with upstream servers. These may change per connection, specially for a laptop. But this can not be allowed when one is using dnsmasq, it has to point always to localhost.
Either this is a normal usage scenario with a standard solution, or you're using dnsmasq in an unusual setting.
Yes, my question is what would be the proper configuration in the usual setting.
Usual (trivial) setting: use dnsmasq to cache dns searches for one machine only.
Just thinking out loud - isn't that what nscd does too? Every call to the resolver tries nscd first. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
