Yes.

# If you want dnsmasq to listen for DHCP and DNS requests only on

# specified interfaces (and the loopback) give the name of the

# interface (eg eth0) here.

# Repeat the line for more than one interface.

#interface=eth1

#interface=eth2

# Or you can specify which interface _not_ to listen on

#except-interface=

# Or which to listen on by address (remember to include 127.0.0.1 if

# you use this.)

#listen-address=

listen-address=192.168.1.254

listen-address=192.168.2.254

listen-address=10.8.0.1

listen-address=127.0.0.1

Yes.

I've modified the Shorewall rules to allow connections on port 53 between
vpn and fw. Will test tonight and report back.

Thanks, Erich, for walking me through this.
