[Dnsmasq-discuss] Overwrite a public domain with dnsmasq while preserving external records?

[Simon Kelley]

It all depends on how you configure things: if you use entries in
/etc/hosts or --host-record, --mx-record etc then they will only "mask"
the external values for that exact domain name and record type.

See the '#' targer for --server=/<domain> for another option.


Cheers,

Simon.
