[Dnsmasq-discuss] nxdomain option of dnsmasq

hi all
as the emails i sent before, i want to have a dns server which can
hijack the traffic when user key-in the non-existent domain,  so
finally i found there is an bogus-nxdomain option in dnsmasq,

here is the explaination of this option in the man page,
-B, --bogus-nxdomain=<ipaddr>
Transform replies which contain the IP address given into "No such
domain" replies. This is intended to counteract a devious move made by
Verisign in September 2003 when they started returning the address of
an advertising web page in response to queries for unregistered names,
instead of the correct NXDOMAIN response. This option tells dnsmasq to
fake the correct response when it sees this behaviour. As at Sept 2003
the IP address being returned by Verisign is 64.94.110.11

but i still get an timeout when I request an non-existent domain


can someone please help to check this option,whether this option is
what I want ?


thanks very much,

bill82
