[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq - Is it possible to force www.localnet to be resolved by forward servers

[Thomas Jones]

I solved the problem by hashing

local=/localnet/

If I read the notes correctly, if this is enabled, this stops localnet 
being looked up from the forward name servers, if not found in 
/etc/hosts.

Tom
