Hello all,

in revising my own code in the Webconf package dnsmasq.lwp
an issues comes to my mind. There is one adaption of the
file /etc/dnsmasq.conf that the buildsystem of Bering implements:

domain=private.network

with well known intentions. However, the logically accompanying
option 

local=/private.network/

is NOT implemented. Short reminder: this option prevents DNS-questions
concerning the domain "private.network" to be forwarded upstreams.
I have used this mechanism myself for a long time, but now I am
convinced that this option ought to be present alongside the "Domain"
setting in the future webconf page dnsmasq.cgi.

My suggestion is therefore to add a standard mechanism in the script

dhcpcd/buildtool.mk

that implements this insertion. I could, however, imagine one argument
against my suggestion: "Now the new user has another setting to change
before he runs the new firewall machine". But, granted that my code to
care for "domain" and "local" in the basic webconf page dnsmasq.cgi will
not be declined, the new user will be aware of both settings, and hence
will se their cooperation clearly enough.

Please comment on this.

Regards

Mats E A
