[Dnsmasq-discuss] DNS request status opcode forwarded

Hi,

I have noticed that DNS queries with opcode 2 (server status request) 
arriving at dnsmasq are forwarded to the upstream dns servers.

However, this document 
(http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-status-opcode-00-1.txt) 
states these queries MUST NOT be forwarded by DNS servers (See section 
6, Security considerations).

Do you have any plans on modifying the behaviour of dnsmasq with respect 
to these requests?

Kind regards,
Wouter
