Greetings, I have dnsmasq working using DHCP and DNS fine except that the dnsmasq server responds incorrectly on the loopback address, i.e. other computers that get ip address(s) (dhcp) and resolve names (DNS) works but resolving dns names on the host on which dnsmasq is running indicates the configured dns names are unresolvable.
/etc/resole.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx /etc/dnsmasq.conf ... interface=lo interface=eth0 listen-address=127.0.0.1 ... /var/log/messages ...
