Package: dnsmasq
Version: 2.35-1
Severity: wishlist

We have nameservers handling separate private subnets, and 'server'
lines in dnsmasq.conf to forward requests to them, like:

        server=/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.2.1
        server=/company.lan/192.168.2.1

However, to get reverse lookups working for this private subnet, I have
to turn off the 'bogus-priv' option. I expect this means that reverse
lookups for other private ranges could get forwarded to external DNS
servers.

It might be better if the bogus-priv option took account of any 'server'
in-addr.arpa lines for private subnets, and allowed forwarding in these
cases.

There was a similar request on the dnsmasq-discuss mailing list in 2005:
