<font size="+1"><tt>On Fedora11, dnsmasq-2.46-2.fc11.i586 :<br>
I have restart dnsmasq several times per day<br>
because firefox fails to resolv the url, and<br>
thunderbird fail to connect to the mailserver (gmail).<br>
<br>
I have to repeatedly run<br>
sudo service dnsmasq restart<br>
<br>
in order to get things working again.<br>
<br>
My /etc/resolv.dnsmasq contains<br>
<br>
search sbcglobal.net<br>
nameserver 151.164.8.201<br>
nameserver 65.68.49.6<br>
nameserver 66.73.20.40<br>
nameserver 68.94.157.1<br>
nameserver 68.94.156.1<br>
<br>
And /etc/resolv.conf contains<br>
nameserver 127.0.0.1<br>
<br>
And /etc/dnsmasq.conf contains only one setting:<br>
resolv-file=/etc/resolv.dnsmasq<br>
<br>
<br>
When I first boot up, dnsmasq is running, but with arguments<br>
that are not set in the dnsmasq.conf file. I do not know <br>
where it is getting those arguments. Also, after bootup,<br>
I cannot resolve ANY internet address.<br>
As I stated above, I have to sudu service dnsmasq restart<br>
in order to be able to resolve addresses.<br>
After the restart, ps -wwef | grep dnsmasq shows it<br>
running without ANY command line args, but works for <br>
a while only.<br>
<br>
So, I do not know what is wrong with the conf file.<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Tom asked me to do netstat -anp --program to see if there were other
proceses listening on port 53.<br>
Well, turns out NO. Only dnsmasq is the process doing that:<br>
<br>
Active Internet connections (servers and established)<br>
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign
Address State PID/Program name<br>
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:53
0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5059/dnsmasq<br>
tcp 0 0 :::53
:::* LISTEN 5059/dnsmasq<br>
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:53
0.0.0.0:* 5059/dnsmasq<br>
udp 0 0 :::53
:::* 5059/dnsmasq<br>
</tt><br>
So, I am still having the problem of dnsmasq stops working after a few
minutes.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
