[Dnsmasq-discuss] Loading Dnsmasq before the interface is up

[Tsachi]

Just to correct, the dnsmasq was listening on 0.0.0.0:67 before the
interface was up, so it is not the netlink message that cause it to
listen and it was listening before.
But still after the interface is up I don’t see the binding of the DNS.

And my config file is:

domain-needed
bogus-priv
bind-interfaces
dhcp-range=10.0.0.10,10.0.0.10,10080m
resolv-file=/etc/resolv.conf
dhcp-authoritative

Thanks,
