Is there work in progress to add wildcards to dnsmasq?
I run dnsmasq and fill in all of my network hosts and of course if it can't
answer, then it forwards to OpenDNS for answers.
However I have noticed that windows7 seems to look to look up weird things
on my domain (like ipad.domain.com and some weird *._udp.domain.com stuff) -
and I am trying to prevent that noise from reaching the OpenDNS servers.
If we could put a wildcard after all of the entries in the dnsmasq hosts
file, then I could filter out this noise.
Not sure offhand if it's capable of doing that, it's not in the GUI at
least. As a workaround, if you have an internal DNS server for those
domains you can forward the entire domain to an internal server, which
will keep it from getting to OpenDNS.
I create a custom dnsmasq.conf file and upload it to
/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf (via the 'Diagnostics: Execute command' menu)
In that file I add entries for the domains that I'd like to return
NXDOMAIN for, like this:
local=/_dns-sd._udp.my-domain.com/
local=/doubleclick.net/
Works great!
