[opensuse] Problems with DNSMasq
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?

Wow! That is very strange, supposedly that is always installed by default. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Well I've disabled just about everything in DNSmasq.conf except getting responses from 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and "success!", if you call crippling everything as 'success'. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Much better is to use local adress definitions like this: ==== /etc/dnsmasq.conf ==== ### use one extra config file conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.d/blockhosts.conf # ### or use all *.conf files in there # conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,*.conf # ### or use all files in there # conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d ==== ==== /etc/dnsmasq.d/blockhosts.conf ==== address=/addserver.mtv.com/ address=/doubleclick.com/ ==== That gives you NXDOMAIN for all (sub-)domains under addserver.mtv.com and doubleclick.com... You can also redirect to an IP e.g. localhost as such: ==== address=/addserver.mtv.com/127.0.0.1 ==== HTH, -dnh -- panic("Yeee, unsupported cache architecture."); linux-2.6.6/arch/mips/mm/cache.c -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
