But you don't understand. The point of dnsmasq on a laptop is to<br>
serve ONLY that machine and its local processes. /etc/resolv.conf<br>
must contain ONLY "nameserver 127.0.0.1". If there are other<br>
nameservers listed, the system resolver will be contacting them;<br>
possibly getting different results, and ... well, this discussion<br>
would not be relevant to the dnsmasq list.<br>
