[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq frequently dying on me

[Cory Riddell]

I just set up a new Fedora Core 3 server and setup a fresh build of
dnsmasq. I built the rpm then installed that rpm on the server.
Everything seemed to go well...

It works beautifully for a while (maybe an hour), then eventually
dies. If I watch my /var/messages log file, I see:
Jun  7 11:59:38 mars dnsmasq[10062]: nameserver 204.147.80.5 refused
to do a recursive query

If I look in my dnsmasq log, I see lines that look like:
Jun  7 11:58:36 mars dnsmasq[10062]: nameserver 204.147.80.5 refused
to do a recursive query
Jun  7 11:58:36 mars dnsmasq[10062]: query[A] www.google.com from 192.168.1=
11.82
Jun  7 11:58:36 mars dnsmasq[10062]: forwarded www.google.com to 204.147.80=
.5
Jun  7 11:58:36 mars dnsmasq[10062]: nameserver 204.147.80.5 refused
to do a recursive query
Jun  7 11:58:36 mars dnsmasq[10062]: query[AAAA] www.google.com from
192.168.111.82
Jun  7 11:58:36 mars dnsmasq[10062]: forwarded www.google.com to 204.147.80=
.5
Jun  7 11:58:37 mars dnsmasq[10062]: nameserver 204.147.80.5 refused
to do a recursive query
Jun  7 11:58:37 mars dnsmasq[10062]: query[AAAA] www.google.com from
192.168.111.82

Once messages like this start appearing, nothing resolves anymore.

My /etc/resolv.conf looks like:
  nameserver 206.26.36.34
  nameserver 198.36.160.1
  nameserver 204.147.80.5

Speakeasy is our ISP.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks,
