[Dnsmasq-discuss] Upstream servers timeout

[Milen Pankov]

Hi,

I am trying to use dnsmasq to send requests to upstream servers for
specific queries. My config file contains:

server=//192.168.0.4
server=//10.0.0.16
server=/de.example.com/192.168.0.4
server=/en.example.com/10.0.0.16

The upstream servers are reachable via vpn connection and thus are
sometimes slow. Dnsmasq seems to return NXDOMAIN most of the time when
connecting the one server and fewer times when connecting the other (may
be one is slower). The upstream servers are running dnsmasq too and I
have admin access to them. I can confirm debugging that the requests are
send to the right server and that this server is returning correct
response while dnsmasq is returning NXDOMAIN. I think dnsmasq timeouts
waiting for answer from upstream servers after a specific period of
time. However I cannot find such option or variable. Is there a way to
completely disable this timeout if any or change it somehow? Any other
solution?

Thanks,
Milen
