    Is there anyway to have dnsmasq use the same server address parsing
    when using the resolv.conf file as it does when using the 'server'
    command line/config option?<br>
    My issue is that I want to use the resolv.conf file so I don't have
    to restart dnsmasq, but the nameserver I am using also uses a
    non-standard port, i.e. not 53.<br>
    On the command line I can do something like '111.222.333.444#5353',
    but if I put this type of format in the resolv.conf file dnsmasq
    does not like it.<br>
