Don’t think dnsmasq cares what order they are in, it tests them all and chooses the fastest to use.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 25 Mar 2019 at 16:00, Fox Haxx <<a href="mailto:foxhaxx@yandex.com">foxhaxx@yandex.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Let' say I have this config:<br>
<br>
    server=<ns1><br>
    server=<ns2><br>
    resolv-file=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf<br>
    strict-order<br>
<br>
By running dnsmasq with `--log-queries` I discovered that <ns2> is actually<br>
listed above <ns1>:<br>
<br>
    dnsmasq: using nameserver <ns2><br>
    dnsmasq: using nameserver <ns1><br>
    dnsmasq: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53<br>
    dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses<br>
    dnsmasq: query[A] <a href="http://x.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">x.org</a> from 127.0.0.1<br>
    dnsmasq: forwarded <a href="http://x.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">x.org</a> to <ns2><br>
    dnsmasq: reply <a href="http://x.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">x.org</a> is 131.252.210.176<br>
<br>
Which is to say, every `server=` server is _prepended_ to servers list, rather<br>
than _appended_.<br>
<br>
I think this is counter-intuitive.<br>
<br>
So is this intended?<br>
Is it documented?<br>
Should it be changed?<br>
<br>
