[Dnsmasq-discuss] listen on loopback for dns not working..

[B. Cook]

Sorry for the terse email.. I just do not understand what I am missing..

If I start dnsmasq 2.52 before powerdns, pdns wont start..

if I start pdns first then dnsmasq all is fine..


cat -n dnsmasq.conf
     1	all-servers
     2	cache-size=4096
     3	log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log
     4	#log-queries
     5	resolv-file=/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.resolv
     6	except-interface=bge0
     7	interface=lo0
     8	listen-address=127.0.0.1
     9	no-hosts
    10
    11	dns-forward-max=256

sockstat -4l | grep 53

Can someone suggest what I might possibly try..

everything is fine until you reboot the box, dnsmasq starts before pdns..

Thanks in advance.
