I am having trouble with the feature expand-hosts.</div>
<div>The dnsmasq running on my router has no 'expand-hosts' in its
dnsmasq.conf and it still expands hosts for domains that are unable to
resolve.</div>
<div>It is especially troublesome in my setup as I also have wildcard set on
my <domain> so these requests will be redirected to my WAN IP
address.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On my router I have a pound reverse proxy running which then gets
traffic which it shouldn't receive.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Why is dnsmasq expanding the host?</div>
<div>It seems it does it always when I set <domain=domain.com>. Is
this true?</div>
<div>If so, why is there a separate setting for expand-hosts?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand the need for such a feature, but I don't understand why it
also expands on hosts that don't contain a dot.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it possible to have a switch so I can better control its
behavior?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers all...</div>
