I want to check how addresses are resolved on my LAN, is there an easy[ish] way of finding where DNS requests are sent and where they are finally resolved (or at least where they leave my LAN)?
With the latest fashion of using dnsmasq on all machines to provide local caching of DNS it's quite difficult to check if things are going the way one expects. I run my own dnsmasq (as opposed to the local caching one installed by Ubuntu etc.) on a server machine on the LAN. So I have (along with a lot of other bits and pieces):- ADSL router 192.168.1.1 Server running dnsmasq 192.168.1.2 My desktop machine 192.168.1.4 ... ... The router has two connections to the internet which it load balances so DNS might go out direct from it to one ISP's DNS servers or it might go out on its WAN/ethernet port to another ADSL modem which uses a different ISP. I just want to check how various things are looked up to make sure that DNS is resolved through the right route. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
