Is it the normal behavior for dnsmasq to return the IP of the box that it's running on when it can't resolve a domain name? I'm seeing this behavior in a pretty much default dnsmasq setup. Is there a way to turn this off?
It's not normal behaviour at all, it will return a NXDOMAIN or NODATA reply under those circumstances. Are you sure that you are not being confused by the output of the nslookup command, which prints the address of the server it used first?
desk:~# nslookup noname.nodomain Server: 192.168.0.4 Address: 192.168.0.4#53 ** server can't find noname.nodomain: NXDOMAIN Cheers, Simon.
