I'm confused about dnsmasq's DNS cache. I know that it works, and works well. Is there a way to see the contents of the cache?
Yes, it's easiest to start dnsmasq in debug mode (-d) which keeps it in the foreground. Then when you want to see the current cache contents, send dnsmasq SIGUSR1 like this:
killall -USR1 dnsmasq and a dump will be printed to the terminal.
Is the cache stored in RAM or in a temp file on disk?
It's in RAM.
thanks in advance, and thanks for dnsmasq.
