[Dnsmasq-discuss] expand-hosts

[Jean-Pierre van Melis]

I am having trouble with the feature expand-hosts.

The dnsmasq running on my router has no 'expand-hosts' in its 
dnsmasq.conf and it still expands hosts for domains that are unable to 
resolve.

It is especially troublesome in my setup as I also have wildcard set on 
my <domain> so these requests will be redirected to my WAN IP 
address.



On my router I have a pound reverse proxy running which then gets 
traffic which it shouldn't receive.



Why is dnsmasq expanding the host?

It seems it does it always when I set <domain=domain.com>. Is 
this true?

If so, why is there a separate setting for expand-hosts?



I understand the need for such a feature, but I don't understand why it 
also expands on hosts that don't contain a dot.



Is it possible to have a switch so I can better control its 
behavior?

Cheers all...
