[Dnsmasq-discuss] Is there any way to return NXDOMAIN from hosts file (not config file)?

2015-05-14 Thread Terry Carmen

I'm running dnsmasq with a large hosts file that contains entries like:

127.0.0.1 001.adsenser.cn

Is there a way to get dnsmasq to return NXDOMAIN instead of 127.0.0.1 
for these entries?


Thanks!

Terry

Absolutely! I also believe that is a far better solution to return 
NXDOMAIN.


Simon responded to a similar question of mine a while ago [1]

Basically you add:
server=/double-click.net/ http://double-click.net/

You can have multiple domains in one line, remember to end with a /
server=/double-click.net/other.evil.domain/ 
http://double-click.net/other.evil.domain/


Remember to remove the entries from hosts afterwards.
Also, I'm not sure if this is a limitation in dnsmasq or somewhere 
else, but I had a situation where a 'server' line was too long and I 
had to split it up. I don't have that many domains I filter out. 
Mostly biggest trackers and place my SmartTV calls.

Thanks for the quick response!

I saw your original message, but it seems to be targeted for a config 
file in /etc/dnsmasq.d/, not a hosts file.


Right now my list format is in hosts file format of 127.0.0.1 
www.baddomain.com


I could reformat the file, but was wondering if there was something I 
could substitute for the 127.0.0.1 so dnsmasq would return NXDOMAIN?


Thanks!
