Hi Simon,
Please see the following two commands to running the dnsmasq:
$ sudo dnsmasq -d -q -R -h --server=/google.com/8.8.8.8#53
--server=/google.com/8.8.4.4#53 -p 5356 --no-poll --all-servers
dnsmasq: started, version 2.76test1-11-g4790115 cachesize 150
dnsmasq: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt DBus i18n IDN DHCP
DHCPv6 Lua TFTP conntrack ipset auth DNSSEC loop-detect inotify
dnsmasq: using nameserver 8.8.4.4#53 for domain google.com
dnsmasq: using nameserver 8.8.8.8#53 for domain google.com
dnsmasq: cleared cache
$ sudo dnsmasq -d -q -R -h --server=/google.com/8.8.8.8#53
--server=/google.com/8.8.4.4#53 -p 5356 --no-poll --all-server
dnsmasq: started, version 2.76test1-11-g4790115 cachesize 150
dnsmasq: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt DBus i18n IDN DHCP
DHCPv6 Lua TFTP conntrack ipset auth DNSSEC loop-detect inotify
dnsmasq: using nameserver 8.8.4.4#53 for domain google.com
dnsmasq: using nameserver 8.8.8.8#53 for domain google.com
dnsmasq: cleared cache
About the above two commands, I have two issues:
1- It seems both of the `--all-server' and `--all-servers' are
accepted by dnsmasq. But according to the manpage, the correct usage
should be `--all-servers'. Any hints on this issue?
2- As you can see, in the above example, I use two nameservers as the
resolvers for one specific domain. I think if I can write them in the
following form and it will be more concise:
(Note, the port number here can be negleted because it's equql to the
53, I write here just for representation the more general form of this
option)
--server=/google.com/8.8.8.8#53,8.8.4.4#53
But, I try the above form and dnsmasq failed to recgonize this form
thus failed to start.
How about my suggstions on using this form with dnsmasq?
Regards
