My web browsers often seem to spend a lot of time reporting "looking up host <blah>". I'd like to see less of that in 2014, and spend less time watching nothing happen in the browser's viewport.
You can set a DNS local server, working as cache. It is now even easier than it was.
Dnsmasq is now installed by default, just use it.
My 24/7 box is still on 11.4. Dnsmasq was not installed.
In "/etc/dnsmasq.conf" tell dnsmasq to ask the router or isp or whatever.
server=192.168.1.1
Seems simple enough, until I look at the default /etc/dnsmasq.conf file, where I see only this example that seems like the closest equivalent to your suggestion:
#server=/localnet/192.168.0.1
What are the "/" and "localnet" about? Searching through the man page, search string localnet was not found. There is no separate man page for dnsmasq.conf. Maybe localnet would have been better expressed as <localnet> or <domain>?
If I wanted to use two Google servers instead of router IP, bypassing resolv.conf, would I put both IPs on one line, or two, and if on one, separated how?
