[Dnsmasq-discuss] Strange error when running 'host'

[Chris Green]

I am setting up my dnsmasq backup system(s) and have just moved to the
'other' dnsmasq server, now I'm getting odd response to 'host' :-

    chris$ host esprimo
    esprimo has address 192.168.1.3
    Host esprimo not found: 5(REFUSED)
    chris$ host C475IP
    C475IP has address 192.168.1.101
    Host C475IP not found: 5(REFUSED)
    chris$ 

I have checked that I don't have two DNS servers running.  Also if I
stop dnsmasq from listening I get no response.

dig seems to produce a sensible response:-

    chris$ dig esprimo

So what on earth have I misconfigured?
