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>

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>
