[Dnsmasq-discuss] FreeBSD vs. "bind-interfaces" and "except-interface"

[Matthias Andree]

Situation:

dnsmasq 2.56 supposed to answer all but loopback.  named (system default 
BIND 9.6.3, FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE amd64) is bound to 127.0.0.1 and ::1 
port 53, confirmed with lsof.  dnsmasq config is as follows:

domain-needed
bogus-priv
no-resolv
no-poll
server=127.0.0.1
except-interface=lo0
expand-hosts
domain=example.org  # real address here
log-queries

$ ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
	options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
	inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
	inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
	nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>

This does not work at all (dnsmasq binds to INADDR_ANY), queries to the 
local IP address (192.168.0.4) time out.

I need to add bind-interfaces to the configuration so that things work - 
in that case, dnsmasq binds to 192.168.0.4 according to lsof.


Is this a known issue on FreeBSD?  What means are there to resolve this 
so that users don't fall into this trap?
