[Dnsmasq-discuss] Resolving .local names

Hi,

I am working on a legacy application, which uses "xxxx.local" format names.
I have setup dnsmasq in my system.

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq -k --bind-interfaces
--listen-address=127.0.0.1,192.168.101.101 --dns-forward-max=1000
--cache-size=10000 --server 10.58.112.113

If I run my application, which does getaddrinfo on "xxxx.local" as first
step,I get

"Name or service not known"

Does dnsmasq not resolve ".local" names too ? How to resolve ".local" names
?
All my resolutions are only within my machine. I am not entertaining any
DNS resolution outside of my machine.

Regards,
Mukuntha.
