That assumes that dnsmasq does not also have some built in way to go around it. (I really don't know). Dnsmasq is the specified DNS server. How does any app get around that, other than going to the root servers etc.
I don't know that anything does get around that, but if anything wanted to I imagine it would be the same way Dig or postfix gets around nscd.
Nscd is only a cache, not a DNS server. Dnsmasq is a DNS server that any app shouldn't know how to get around. As far as an app is concerned, there's no difference between using Dnsmasq, Google DNS, the ISP's DNS etc. They're all DNS servers. The next thing beyond that would be to do an iterative DNS query, starting from the root DNS server in the manner the ISPs DNS would. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
