[Dnsmasq-discuss] DNS whitelist

I'd like to use dnsmasq to do a DNS whitelist. That is, I want to block 
almost all DNS queries, but allow domains in a small whitelist to be 
forwarded through to the upstream server (specified in the resolv file).

I've seen people doing a whitelist with dnsmasq by:
* Using 'no-resolv' option to block most DNS queries.
* Using an explicit 'server' option to specify the DNS server for 
permitted domains.

But that won't work for me, because I need to use the resolv file 
mechanism to get the upstream DNS server.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Craig McQueen
