[Dnsmasq-discuss] Best practice for using Dnsmasq to block advertisements

[Neil Darlow]

Hi,

Thanks for your useful input, Alex.

I did some digging on the IDN support within Dnsmasq and came across
the section in the manpage relating to internationalization.

This highlighted that the archlinuxARM (and through inheritance) the
archlinux packages have an error in their builds. The invokation of
make references both the install *and* install-i18n targets.

Would this explain the issue I see with an addn-hosts file having
Punycode encoded hostnames generating "bad name" entries in the syslog
at Dnsmasq startup?

archlinux have updated their PKGBUILD to only specify the install-i18n
target after I raised a bug report on it.

ATB,
Neil Darlow
