One more question, and I did try to find an answer on my own- what do the 
cache flags mean?  (Expires column snipped)

dnsmasq: Host                Address                                Flags     
dnsmasq: stinkpad.alrac.net     192.168.1.102                  4FRI   H
dnsmasq: localhost                   127.0.0.1                        4F I   H
dnsmasq: i.cnn.net                   64.236.16.137                  4F     
dnsmasq: m1.2mdn.net.edgesuite.net    a509.cd.akamai.net             CF 

thanks!
