[Dnsmasq-discuss] localdomain non-responsive without edns on ubuntu 14.04

[Simon Kelley]

I'm running 14.04 and just tried that experiment. I can't see any
difference in behaviour. In each case the query gets passed on to the
upstream nameserver, so I guess that the effect might originate there.




Cheers,

Simon
