has immediately after the introduction an advice on before you ask. http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#before Following that advice is still no guarantee for a quick response. So when you are still stuck with something that you think it is dnsmasq related, you have to make more effort. Greatest challenge is most likely being persistent in solving the problem. ( Not being persistent in demanding an answer ) The dnsmasq man page is feature complete. And known as "hard to read" for those who are new to it. But still do read it and try to understand it. Reading it again is known being effective for getting better understanding. Find a copy of it in source code of dnsmasq and read it by `man man/dnsmasq.8`, or when installed by `man dnsmasq` or at https://dnsmasq.org/docs/dnsmasq-man.html Pattern seen on the mailing list is unawareness of network-server-client-model. Expressing such problems is indeed hard, but also the road to a solution. Know that you are the main stake holder of the problem that you are facing. The highest reward for finding a solution goes to you. Keep the eco system that you are consulting healthy by sharing also your success stories. Avoid "DNS doesn't work", make it "My DNS client gets odd replies from dnsmasq", "My DNS requests don't get forwarded" or another non-generic issue. Use real DNS client tools like `dig` or `host` (instead of `ping`). Set the configuration --log-queries. That will allow you to see if the queries are getting to dnsmasq, and it will give you a full dump of the DNS cache (including DHCP derived names) if you send the dnsmasq process SIGUSR1. Both of these will help in diagnosing the problem. For non-biased views is networksniffing recommented. When `tcpdump` or `wireshark` is used for such examinations, provide the mailinglist with an URL to `.pcap`-file. Karma bonus points for providing an URL that can be `wget`. So prevent that your community members get exposed to websites that scream advertisements and the need for JavaScript. Text version output of network sniffs don't show well after being put in an email. Please take the pain of uploading an .pcap file insteadof multipling the pain of malformed netsniffer output. Dnsmasq is a mature project, meaning not often a release. However we constantly want to improve. Yes, patches welcome. Patches are not always reviewed within three days. Retransmit of your review request after eight days is not too pushy. Aim for common interest. If you find it here, fine. If you cannot find it here, you might found a clue for looking elsewhere on "common interest".
