[Dnsmasq-discuss] Making dnsmasq listen to only one IP address

Hi,

I run FreeBSD on a server, and have some jails running on it.  
Currently dnsmasq listens on *:53 on this server, but I need it to  
listen to one specific IP address instead. The reason for this is so  
that the jail host won't hijack incoming traffic to any of the jail  
IP's, port 53.

I've tried giving dnsmasq the flag --listen-address=1.2.3.4, but it  
just won't change anything. The output of netstat is still *:53. I've  
also looked at the various other arguments, but can't find anything  
that seems like it would do the job.

Have I seriously missed something here, or is dnsmasq behaving weird?  
It's FreeBSD 6.2, nothing special. Please let me know if you need  
details :)

Thanks, // Leo
