[Dnsmasq-discuss] No unsolicited RAs on interface that doesn't exist at startup

2018-05-10 Thread Maarten de Vries
I noticed that dnsmasq often wasn't sending any unsolicited RAs for me. This turned out to happen when the interface (a bridge interface) wasn't created yet at the time dnsmasq started. When dnsmasq is started after the interface is created, it sends RAs as expected. I assume this also extends

Watching the packets going in and out of the router, I think the problem relates to this being on a multi-tenant firewall. That's beyond the scope of this list. As a work around until I get that sorted, what should I set in the mean time so that dnsmasq does not to forward any DNS queries? I

It looks like dnsmasq is forwarding the queries to the upstream servers, but never getting any answers, so it never answers the original requestor. If you have other servers in the /etc/resolv.conf of the requestor, then they will be used after the query to dnsmasq has timed out (assuming the

It's likely to be a problem with one or more of the upstream servers. I suggest setting the dnsmasq "log-queries" option and then examining what servers the slow query was sent to, and how long they took to reply, or of they didn't reply at all. Cheers, Simon On 10/05/18 07:35, Lars Noodén

2018-05-10 Thread Lars Noodén
Hello, I am using dnsmasq on my router to serve up LAN host names and would like all other queries to pass through to the ISP's DNS servers. I seem to have some mild misconfiguration of dnsmasq.conf slowing down new queries for external addresses. Within the TTL subsequent queries are fast.
