Jack,
localdns is only enabled when you have both EXTIF and INTIF defined,
and here's why:
dnsmasq gets disabled when you don't have INTIF defined (pbx-only
mode). It would not be difficult to re-enable it for localdns WITHOUT
specifying INTIF, but that is only part of the problem...
dnsmasq does both DHCP and DNS forwarding. It would require a
significant amount of logic in the dnsmasq init script to handle the
various combinations of INTIF, INT2IF, localdns, etc. For instance:
LOCALDNS=yes
EXTIF=eth0
#INTIF
dnsmasq would need to be configured to only listen for DNS on loopback,
and not answer DHCP requests for any network interfaces. This doesn't
seem that hard, but in my experience dnsmasq has some funny quirks when
it comes to partitioning service by interface.
I like to take "baby steps" and the LOCALDNS change was big enough. I
would like to verify that it works as expected BEFORE I change how
dnsmasq functions.
For now, you should be able to define INTIF (enter router mode) and
work around any issues that might cause with your setup until localdns
without router mode can be worked out.
