[Dnsmasq-discuss] Why is a different TTL resturned for bare and FQDN queries?

[Wojtek Swiatek]

switch-3 is a device which gets its IP via DHCP from dnsmasq. When trying
to resolve it on dnsmasq (which expands hosts):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So one response (to the bare query provides a TTL of 0, and the other one
(FQDN) - 600.

I do not know whether this normal/expected or not, and whether this is a
problem or not?
