My dnsmasq.conf consists of the single line:<br>
<br>
<tt>conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d</tt><br>
<br>
...and I keep a number of config files in /etc/dnsmasq.d - one for
general config options, another for DHCP options, a third for static IP
allocations (including by MAC address via DHCP), etc. So just dropping
a new 'adservers' file into /etc/dnsmasq.d and restarting it will cause
the new list to be picked up.<br>
<br>
Also has the advantage that if a misguided package upgrade also
'upgrades' my dnsmasq.conf file, I can restore normal operation very
easily ;)<br>

If you use a different source for the blacklist, a little sed or awk in
necessary to reformat the list, but it just so happens that the
adservers list
is available natively in dnsmasq format.<br>
<br>
Not to say that adding some blacklist functionality to dnsmasq doesn't
have its
plus points, of course. Though I think I'd rather the implementation
stays with
a single cache and adds a flag to mark an entry as 'evil', than another
cache
is added solely for that purpose. I'd like to see RBLs supported too
(is that
what you meant by 'blacklist servers'?).<br>

p.s. BTW, are you aware of the web content filtering features OpenDNS
provides?
guess it depends what kind of blacklisting you're seeking.<br>
