[Dnsmasq-discuss] Question about the server option

[richardvoigt at gmail.com]

Does the server you specify actually answer the query, or does it
reply by delegating to a different server?  If the latter, I don't see
a way for dnsmasq to override.

And is the trailing d of "llnwd" in your example a typo or are you
maybe missing some related domains?
