Greetings ...<br><br><br> First, thanks to Simon and all the other helps of dnsmasq ... Okay, now that I have buttered up the developers ... |-)<br><br> Logging, I'm sure Simon will remember me, because I'm always asking about logging, seeing that I can never get it to work in deamon mode ...
<br><br> We have had some changes in our ADSL network in SA, our monoply Telco has gone and changed things, without letting us know, which was a pain for a me and having to go and change all the forwarding DNS servers ...
<br><br> So, now my questions and ideas ... First, I understand that dnsmasq forwards queries to all the forwarding DNS servers and then uses the first returned ... Now, with Telkom taking down a DNS server or changing it (
<a href="http://196.25.1.1">196.25.1.1</a> ) ... So, clients were not able to access alot of the net ... <br><br>Now:<br> 1. What errors might I have seen?<br> 2. Is it possible to detect these errors and correct for them?
<br> 3. If one has many DNS forwarders, does this increase internet traffic much?<br> 4. Would using OpenDNS (<a href="http://208.67.222.222">208.67.222.222</a>, <a href="http://208.67.220.220">208.67.220.220</a>) and strick-order be better with local DNS servers just a thrid and forward backup?
<br><br> Again, thanks for a great program that really saves me time, traffic and a lot of headaces ...<br><br>Thanks<br>Mailed<br>Lee<br><br>
