[Dnsmasq-discuss] Dnsmasq won't load configfile

[Petr Menšík]

I think those quotes should not be there in a config file. Quotes might
be required for shell on command line, but they are not necessary inside
config. When you put them away, would it be fixed?

It seems xn--www-rze3o.xmediaserve.com is not valid, according to idn2.

idn2 xn--www-rze3o.xmediaserve.com
idn2: toAscii: string has forbidden bi-directional properties

but it passes with idn(1):
idn xn--www-rze3o.xmediaserve.com
xn--www-rze3o.xmediaserve.com

But your dnsmasq seems to omit idn support, so it should not be the issue.
