[Dnsmasq-discuss] using only DHCP and propagating upstream nameservers

Hello,

I'd like to use dnsmasq only as a DHCP server, so I set port=0.
However, once I acquire an IP via DHCP, the address of the dnsmasq server
still ends up in /etc/resolv.conf, so DNS stops working.

My goal is to propagate the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf on the dnsmasq
server to the other downstream servers.

My motivation is to try to forward DNS requests directly to the upstream
servers, because I suspect my server with dnasmasq actually isn't
performing fast enough.

Kind regards,

Ondrej Grover
