Hi,
I don’t think this should be fixed at all, because it violates the „official“
format of resolv.conf, see man page. A resolv.conf file modifies like this
could not be read by libc’s resolver functions.

Subject: Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Non-standard port and resolv.conf file
The standard fix for this is to create multiple resolv.conf files.
I use this:
/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq
/etc/resolv.conf.local
I also use a script to manage these in the event that my external ip is DHCP.
If /etc/resolv.conf changes copy it to /etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq
then copy /etc/resolv.conf.local to /etc/resolv.conf
Configure dnsmasq to use the alternate /etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq file instead of
standard.
This serves two purposes.
1) it makes the server use itself for dns.
2) it keeps nonstandard stuff like what you discuss on the outside of the
network and the internal network functions in a standard way. Easier
troubleshooting.
If there is a limitation in dnsmasq proper about using alternate port Simon
will fix it, he's good like that.

Is there anyway to have dnsmasq use the same server address parsing when using
the resolv.conf file as it does when using the 'server' command line/config
option?
My issue is that I want to use the resolv.conf file so I don't have to restart
dnsmasq, but the nameserver I am using also uses a non-standard port, i.e. not
53.
On the command line I can do something like '111.222.333.444#5353', but if I
put this type of format in the resolv.conf file dnsmasq does not like it.
Thx
