[Dnsmasq-discuss] Where does the complete dump go?

Quoting from the man page:

       When it receives a SIGUSR1, dnsmasq writes  statistics  to  the
system
       log.  It  writes  the cache size, the number of names which have had
to
       removed from the cache before they expired in order to  make  room
for
       new  names  and  the total number of names that have been inserted
into
       the cache. For each upstream server it  gives  the  number  of
queries
       sent, and the number which resulted in an error. In --no-daemon mode
or
       when full logging is enabled (-q), a complete dump of the  contents
of
       the cache is made.

I've started dnsmasq with -q and send it a SIGUSR1. I see in
/var/log/messages the statistics, but I don't see any of the queries or the
complete dump of the cache.

I also tried log-queries in the dnsmasq.conf file.

Do I have to specify a log file and not use syslog?

Regards,

Brad
