When I first read the request yesterday I immediately thought about dnsmasq (I love dnsmaq), but then spend some time trying to understand the exact requirement... The requirement is to take a DNS query for domain E, then do successive queries for the host name not on domain E, but on domain F, and if fails on domain G, etc... until a list of domain is exhausted. This is quite a different requirement, and I am pretty sure dnsmasq does not know how to do that. > See the -S switch, which allows specification of upstreams for a > particular domain, or series of domains: > - http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html > > The FAQ also has a section on doing reverses: > - http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/FAQ -S which can also be written "--server=[/[<domain>]/[domain/]]" is used to specify which upstream servers to use for particular domains, or for non fully qualified addresses. It will not rewrite a domain name into something else, and definitely not act upon a lookup failure. I feel that the original requirement is one of those that would be better answered by reviewing the problem itself, maybe contact technical support for this particular VPN, or change VPN solution altogether. -- Yves. http://www.sollers.ca/ _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
