[Dnsmasq-discuss] Why does dnsmasq append a local domain in DNS queries?

[Ptits de Barbe]

At least we can see, that query[A] dupaa.com.mhouse.lh is not  
dnsmasq-initiated.

Description of ndots options in resolv.conf suggests that search paths are  
always tried. And domain is always added as one of the search paths. So,  
I'm afraid there is no way to disable local queries for complex domain  
names.
Unless you would like to patch DNS resolver in libc, of course. :)
