[Dnsmasq-discuss] Possible to reuse Cache over restats?

[Tobias Hochgürtel]

Hello DNSmasq,

Is there a way to reuse the cache over restarts? I restart DNSmasq every hour, because I notice that after a while all clients in my network aren't able to resolve dns names any more. I can't figure out why, okay I also don't know how I can analyse that behavior. So I restart the DNSmasq process each half hour. I tried it with 4 hours, but that was on some days a too long time period to let the service running without issues, so I reduced it to 1 hour, and then to a half hour. 

The service runs so far fine, and I don't want to change to a different dns resolver, or tool because I believe that DNSmasq is a fine product.

There isn't a feature to reuse the dns-cache?
or a plan to add this feature?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
