[Dnsmasq-discuss] dig +trace failing

[Dominik DL6ER]

Dear list members,

I expect "dig +trace" to show a trace of the delegation path from the
root name servers for the name being looked up. This behavior is broken
since commit 087eb76140725f8f1892ba6f251ea052d3440966
<http://thekelleys.org.uk/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=087eb76140725f8f1892ba6f251ea052d3440966>
and is not fixed until now (I compiled and tested the most recent
"master" branch of dnsmasq).



With dnsmasq v2.80test6, and v2.79, I see:

$ dig +trace www.example.com
; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> +trace www.example.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Received 17 bytes from 192.168.2.11#53(pi.hole) in 76 ms

With dnsmasq v2.78 (and previously), I see:

$ dig +trace www.example.com
; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> +trace www.example.com
;; global options: +cmd

.            42569    IN    NS    d.root-servers.net.
;; Received 241 bytes from 192.168.2.11#53(pi.hole) in 115 ms


Best regards,
