I have been playing with dnsmasq to see if I can improve the way it functions on my 3 network wrap box. here are some of the changes I made to dnsmasq.conf
domain-needed bogus-priv I use dhcp-host= to configure each client ** TO prevent windows boxes from filling the daemon log up with attempts to find nonexistent proxies. dhcp-option=252,"\n" ** uncomented and increased the cache size cache-size=600 *** Here are some nslookup tests. My Leaf box is shadrach. My isp's primary dns is ns1.sonic.net shadrach# nslookup ns1.sonic.net 127.0.0.1 server: 127.0.0.1 address 1: 127.0.0.1 localhost name: ns1.sonic.net address 1: ns1.sonic.net 208.201.224.11 **** from a client windows shell >nslookup server: shadrach address: 192.168.1.254 which indicates it knows dns is on the leaf box. >nslookup ns1.sonic.net server: ns1.sonic.net address: 208.201.224.11 Any suggestions are welcome.
