I thought that the first query in the trace would return the upstream servers and not 127.0.0.1... The two ip addresses with #53 appended are definitely not your upstream dns servers. > Incidentally, what is the "search domain", "pi.shawcable.net" > in this case?

Why did you install it? Check /var/log/syslog. There'll be entries for dnsmaq where it reads the upstream servers. You can also enable logging in /etc/dnsmasq.conf, restart dnsmasq, and cjeck /var/log/syslog for the upstream servers. I suspect that the ip addresses that you're looking for are: 204.209.208.5 and 64.59.135.214. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
