-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dnsmasq won't re-read /etc/hosts or files in a directory specified by - --addn-hosts automatically. It _will_ re-read files in a directory specified by --hostsdir. Armed with that information, the first thing to do might be to look at exactly what configuration you're using.
Once that's sorted out, I'd be interested to know why dnsmasq is behaving so badly in that case. Are these files very big? Cheers, Simon.
