<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK, I'm looking thru my dnsmasq.conf, but can't
justify why this is happening...nor how it's eventually coming-up with a valid
IP address.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this has been happening for some-time now,
but only recently started looking-into it, because I'm trying to add a "hosts
blacklist" to the config. To do this, I added the hosts-formatted file to
"addn-hosts=" in the config file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, it didn't block an advert site on my first
test, and so I did a nslookup from my laptop...this was the
output...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Server: broh.nnnnnn.com<BR>Address:
192.168.1.128</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Non-authoritative
answer:<BR>Name: view.atdmt.com.nnnnnn.com<BR>Address:
208.67.217.132</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The "nnnnnn.com" is set in my "domain=" option in
my config. However, as I read it, it should only be used to decorate
simple names from the hosts-file. Why is it being appended to FQDNs?
Furthermore, how the heck did that name then resolve from the upstream DNS
server???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>view.atdmt.com IS in the black-hole-hosts file that
I added using addn-hosts, but again, it's a FQDN, so it shouldn't be getting the
domain appended.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone help me explain where my config might be
wrong?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
