[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq queries external dns servers even if dnsmasq is the authorized server for that domain.

[Jim Alles]

Just ask it to,

There are other methods of specifying this, but this is for a
dnsmasq.conf example:
local=/example.com/ #private queries are only answered locally

Other possibly useful settings:
bogus-priv #blocks private address forwarding
except-interface=eth? (WAN)
domain-needed #blocks incomplete external requests

with documentation, of course:

and
