<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Simon, i’d like to ask for a feature
if not implemented yet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’ve saw in other dns/dns proxy
servers, the ability to serve an IP when certain DNS host is down/doesn’t
respond.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Is it possible for dnsmasq, to do this,
with two parameters, one for on/off the feature, and the 2<sup>nd</sup> to
specify the host/IP for the response.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>With this I could for example, inside my
network, redirect all broken DNS’s to my webserver specifying a host and
do a webpage explaining what happened.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Is this possible?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks in advanced,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Jorge<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>PS: I saw it here, and it’s something
that will be very handy for me, and I’m sure for other because of dns
problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
