This fixed the directly triggerable ping-pong between the two servers. Now I still see these requests sometimes: Nov 11 10:30:19 theq dnsmasq[97791]: query[PTR] db._dns-sd._udp.0.64.168.192.in- addr.arpa from 10.117.15.254 Nov 11 10:30:19 theq dnsmasq[97791]: forwarded db._dns-sd._udp.0.64.168.192.in-a ddr.arpa to 10.117.15.254 These requests/forwards won't stop and put quite some load on dnsmasq running on 10.117.15.254. After stopping, waiting some seconds and starting again dnsmasq on 192.168.64.254, everything is back to normal (for a day or so, until this starts again). Can anyone explain to me what might cause these requests and how I can prevent them either from being requested at all or at least from being forwarded? cu Gerrit
