Hi,

I am using dnsmasq at home on a server that uses ADSL to connect to the
Internet and provides DNS service to other machines using dnsmasq.

A few days ago, my ISP's primary name server had some problem, and
returned SERVFAIL for most queries. dnsmasq simply forwarded this
message to clients without trying the secondary name server (which 
worked well). Is it a bug or is it normal behaviour? If it is normal behaviour, 
would it be possible for dnsmasq to try the other name servers in this
case (at least as option)?

Thanks,

István
