I was trying to reproduce your problem, but did not suceed. I do not use dhcp for my internet connection, but i created a file /etc/dhcp/resolv.conf, started dnsmasq, changed the resolv file and dnsmasq used the new dns forwarder in there... So, to track down your problem: - Did you check if your resolv file has the correct permissions ? - could you try to change the resolv.conf "by hand" and see if dnsmasq recognizes this change ? - can you provide your dnsmasq.conf ? - are you updating your system clock once your internet connection is established ??
