Hello,

I have dnsmasq installed on Mac OSX 10.8 however it does not appear to be reading the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file.

Setup:

OSX 10.8
Dnsmasq installed by homebrew
VirtualBox machine running on 192.168.56.101

/etc/dnsmasq.conf:
○ → cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf | grep -v \# | grep -v \^\$
address=/dev16.be.lan/192.168.56.101

/etc/resolver:
○ → cat /etc/resolver/dev16.be.lan
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Running dnsmasq manually, I get:
sudo ./dnsmasq -d
dnsmasq: started, version 2.66 cachesize 150
dnsmasq: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-DBus no-i18n no-IDN DHCP DHCPv6 no-Lua         TFTP no-conntrack no-ipset auth
dnsmasq: setting --bind-interfaces option because of OS limitations
dnsmasq: reading /etc/resolv.conf
dnsmasq: using nameserver 10.0.1.1#53
dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 13 addresses

And it won't resolve dev16.be.lan


However, if I run it with the address argument, this works:
○ → ps -ef | grep dnsmasq
   -2   149     1   0 10:00AM ??         0:00.01 /usr/local/opt/dnsmasq/sbin/dnsmasq --keep-in-foreground --address=/dev16.be.lan/192.168.56.101



Any ideas?

Thanks!

Chris
