[Dnsmasq-discuss] local resolve delay when internet down

[bmgz]

I have a small prob. When my internet connection is down I have a delay 
when trying to resolve local hosts (eg. ssh myserver). This is strange 
as it seems that dnsmasq is trying to resolve upstream or something?

/etc/resolv.conf:
  search mylocaldomain.net
  nameserver 192.168.0.1 #(localhost)

/etc/dnsmasq.conf:
  filterwin2k
  expand-hosts
  bogus-priv
  domain-needed
  server=196.25.1.11 # Telkom DNS
  server=196.43.1.11 # Telkom BACKUP DNS
  dhcp-leasefile=/var/db/dhcpd.leases
  domain=mylocaldomain.net
  dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.24,48h
  except-interface=eth1
