<p class=MsoNormal>I'd like to do something vaguely similar, though in my case
it's sending requests in a particular domain to a given pair of servers, only
when a vpn is up (e.g. tun0). If the VPN isn't up, those servers are not
reachable anyhow.<br>
<br>
I noticed the 'server=/<domain>/<ipaddr>@<interface>' variant
in the docs, but haven't had the time to investigate how it behaves if the
interface in question is down.<br>
<br>
This is also something pdnsd can do, but dnsmasq is a much better tool for my
needs in just about every respect, and I'd really prefer not to have to run
both.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>About:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> pdnsd
is a Proxy DNS server for Linux and FreeBSD that is designed to cope with
unreacheable nameservers (e.g. because the dial-in link is not up) in a
graceful manner to prevent DNS-dependent applications like Netscape from
hanging. It has a permanent disk cache and supports parallel query and a wide
variety of link uptests. It also has the ability to serve some local records.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
