[Dnsmasq-discuss] Problem with address format

[Anthony P. Kehoe]

Should probably state the version number:

[root at Citadel dnsmasq.d]# rpm -aq|grep dnsmasq
dnsmasq-2.86-3.fc34.x86_64

Subject: Problem with address format

Hi all,

While trying to use a DNS blacklist, the address list contained entries such as:

r1---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com
r2---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com
r3---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com
r4---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com
r5---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com
r6---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com
r7---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com

When trying to add these lines as:

address=/<address>/

dnsmasq gives an error:

[root at Citadel dnsmasq.d]# dnsmasq --test

dnsmasq: error at line 1 of /etc/dnsmasq.d/black.list
[root at Citadel dnsmasq.d]# head black.list
address=/r1---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r2---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r3---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r4---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r5---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r6---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r7---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r8---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r9---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/
address=/r10---sn-n4v7knlz.googlevideo.com/

It seems the config parser doesn't like the three dashes in the DNS address. Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Anthony
