IT works now for, I have no idea what changed: Addresses are not reused. They come and go but the IPs shouldn't change. Here's a typical query: dnsmasq[8490]: query[A] sid from 127.0.0.1 dnsmasq[8490]: /tmp/test/ sid is 192.168.122.46 dnsmasq[8490]: query[AAAA] sid from 127.0.0.1 dnsmasq[8490]: forwarded sid to 193.189.244.225 dnsmasq[8490]: forwarded sid to 193.189.244.206 dnsmasq[8490]: reply sid is NODATA-IPv6 dnsmasq[8490]: query[MX] sid from 127.0.0.1 dnsmasq[8490]: forwarded sid to 193.189.244.206 > > I would be interesting to set --log-queries, and to look at the cache > dump created in the log by sending SIGUSR1. dnsmasq[984]: time 1442659875 dnsmasq[984]: cache size 150, 0/418 cache insertions re-used unexpired cache entries. dnsmasq[984]: queries forwarded 257, queries answered locally 358 dnsmasq[984]: queries for authoritative zones 0 dnsmasq[984]: server 193.189.244.225#53: queries sent 181, retried or failed 4 dnsmasq[984]: server 193.189.244.206#53: queries sent 178, retried or failed 35 What does not seem to work is that addresses removed from the file are removed from the cache immediately. So if I remove the entry for sid it will still be served. Cheers and thanks a lot for looking into this and dnsmasq in general! -- Guido
