[Dnsmasq-discuss] Why is dnsmasq reading /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf twice when it starts up?

[Chris Green]

When I start dnsmasq I see the following in syslog:-

Oct  3 16:09:03 revo dnsmasq[2819]: started, version 2.63rc6 cachesize 150

Why is it doing everything twice?


While I'm about it, what creates/populates /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf?
