[Bug 998712] Re: domain name completion broken when dnsmasq is used

[Wolf Rogner]

Now I understand what you are getting at (took me a long time).

I can confirm that my DNS server serves any request from inside the
network. I have a log on the router monitoring outgoing traffic. Under
NO circumstances is a DNS request going out UNLESS the internal server
is down but the clients still have their DHCP settings.

I verify this regularly as part of my error testing procedures. This is
why I even use an external DNS server as my bind forwards DNS requests
in case it cannot resolve them itself.

Now there could be a client timeout (which occures in very rare cases,
say once a year per client). In that case, the browser (which is the
only app that might get affected) will simply provide a 404 page and a
reload usually works.

None of my dnsmasqed clients requests from the external server when our
internal bind is up.

I will try to put dnsmasq into strict mode for testing.

Get back to you with results after some time.

Merry Christmas
