[Dnsmasq-discuss] local domain added when forwarding to upstream DNS servers

[Lixus Zoran]

Hello,

I would like to use dnsmasq as switch for different
DNS servers based on the domain in the querie.

Queries about servers in my domain mycompany.tld should go to 10.0.0.1
and all other queries should go to an upstream server 85.214.73.63

This is my /etc/dnsmasq.conf
  resolv-file=/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/upstream
  strict-order
  server=/mycompany.tld/10.0.0.1

This is my /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/upstream 
  nameserver 85.214.73.63

This is my /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search mycompany.tld

A lookup in mycompany.tld works fine "nslookup myhost.mycompany.tld":
  9505.864185  10.0.0.43 -> 10.0.0.1    DNS Standard query A myhost.mycompany.tld
  9505.864371    10.0.0.1 -> 10.0.0.43  DNS Standard query response A 10.0.0.86

But if I lookup external servers my domain gets appended "nslookup www.cnn.com":
  9515.833311  10.0.0.43 -> 10.0.0.1    DNS Standard query A www.cnn.com.mycompany.tld
  9515.833555    10.0.0.1 -> 10.0.0.43  DNS Standard query response, No such name

It queries for www.cnn.com.mycompany.tld instead of just www.cnn.com

How can I fix this ?
