[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq does not respond correctly on loopback(lo)

[richardvoigt at gmail.com]

I guess I gave you the wrong spelling of the option.  It is in the online
man page but has an 's' not a 'z'.  You might also check for the abbreviated
option which is "-y".

*-y, --localise-queries*Return answers to DNS queries from /etc/hosts which
depend on the interface over which the query was received. If a name in
/etc/hosts has more than one address associated with it, and at least one of
those addresses is on the same subnet as the interface to which the query
was sent, then return only the address(es) on that subnet. This allows for a
server to have multiple addresses in /etc/hosts corresponding to each of its
interfaces, and hosts will get the correct address based on which network
they are attached to. Currently this facility is limited to IPv4.
