[Dnsmasq-discuss] Two quick questions about running dnsmasq under Mac OS X

[Mel Brands]

Hi guys,

I've successfully installed and configured dnsmasq on my Mac laptop
and I have two quick questions.

1) How do you quickly tell dnsmasq to reload config files and reload
/etc/hosts (or wherever you have your hosts file)? The only way I know
is to kill the process and then load the daemon...

2) When I run any ruby script from the command line, I notice that
DirectoryService process still gets called whenever my script resolves
an IP from a name. Is there a way to bypass DirectoryService
completely on a Mac?

Thanks!

Melanie
