Source of manual page is man/dnsmasq.8 The git clone URL is git://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq.git ( or http://thekelleys.org.uk/git/dnsmasq.git ) After your changes `git format-patch` plus `git send-email` and see what happens.

For example, this config: server= server= resolv-file=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf strict-order is equivalent to this: resolv-file=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf server= server= strict-order which both produce this queries log: dnsmasq: using nameserver dnsmasq: using nameserver dnsmasq: reading /etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf dnsmasq: using nameserver dnsmasq: using nameserver dnsmasq: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53 dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses dnsmasq: query[A] x.org from 127.0.0.1 dnsmasq: forwarded x.org to dnsmasq: reply x.org is 131.252.210.176 This is not very intuitive either. ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss

Does that not only apply to those in /etc/resolv.conf (or the overridden file) On Mon, 25 Mar 2019 at 17:17, Fox Haxx wrote: > > Don’t think dnsmasq cares what order they are in, it tests them all and > chooses the fastest to use. > > By default, true, however, note I used the `strict-order` option. > ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] The order of nameservers provided by `server=`
> Does that not only apply to those in /etc/resolv.conf (or the overridden file) My tests show that it applies to all configured nameservers. The man page needs updating to reflect this, I think. In many places where it refers to /etc/resolv.conf it in fact means all the nameservers. At least that's the only reasonable behavior I can intuit. ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss

Don’t think dnsmasq cares what order they are in, it tests them all and chooses the fastest to use.

[Dnsmasq-discuss] The order of nameservers provided by `server=`
Let' say I have this config: server= server= resolv-file=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf strict-order By running dnsmasq with `--log-queries` I discovered that is actually listed above : dnsmasq: using nameserver dnsmasq: using nameserver dnsmasq: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53 dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses dnsmasq: query[A] x.org from 127.0.0.1 dnsmasq: forwarded x.org to dnsmasq: reply x.org is 131.252.210.176 Which is to say, every `server=` server is _prepended_ to servers list, rather than _appended_. I think this is counter-intuitive. So is this intended? Is it documented? Should it be changed? ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
