[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq does not forward requests with no default route is set

[Luigi Baldoni]

  Hello,
before stating the obvious, this happens when server=<upstream resolver>@ppp2 is set.

On my system I have concurrent ppp connections, each used independently.
If ppp0 is down or a default route through it is not set, dnsmasq won't forward queries to
the upstream resolver, even though it seems to use only ppp2 in normal conditions. At least
that's what tcpdump shows.

Any idea what's happening? I could try using uid-based policy routing I suppose, but I don't
get why this would be necessary.

Regards
