[Dnsmasq-discuss] Feature Request?

[Jorge Bastos]

Hi,

Simon, i'd like to ask for a feature if not implemented yet.

I've saw in other dns/dns proxy servers, the ability to serve an IP when
certain DNS host is down/doesn't respond.

Is it possible for dnsmasq, to do this, with two parameters, one for on/off
the feature, and the 2nd to specify the host/IP for the response.

With this I could for example, inside my network, redirect all broken DNS's
to my webserver specifying a host and do a webpage explaining what happened.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks in advanced,

Jorge

 

PS: I saw it here, and it's something that will be very handy for me, and
I'm sure for other because of dns problems.

About: pdnsd is a Proxy DNS server for Linux and FreeBSD that is designed to
cope with unreacheable nameservers (e.g. because the dial-in link is not up)
in a graceful manner to prevent DNS-dependent applications like Netscape
from hanging. It has a permanent disk cache and supports parallel query and
a wide variety of link uptests. It also has the ability to serve some local
records.
