I am trying to add the max-ttl= parameter within the DNSMASQ config file but unfortunately when I'm starting the dnsmasq service it fails to start the dnsmasq process. I am following the document mention in the link below. I am using DNSMASQ version 2.48 "Dnsmasq
 version 2.48  Copyright (C) 2000-2009 Simon Kelley". I also tried version 2.85 but it didnt work either. I would really appreciate any help.</div>
