I have run dnsmasq with local configuration for quite a while now to provide local DNS services on my home LAN.
I am now upgrading my machines to [xl]ubuntu 12.04 and in this version dnsmasq is run automatically by Network Manager. A default installation just puts the following in resolv.conf:- # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.0.1 How can I customize the dnsmasq configuration in a way that won't get broken by future upgrades? The NM dnsmasq runs as follows:- chris$ ps -ef | grep dnsmasq nobody 1341 1090 0 17:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --no-resolv --keep-in-foreground --no-hosts --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-manager.dnsmasq.pid --listen-address=127.0.0.1 --conf-file=/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf --cache-size=0 --proxy-dnssec Since the config file is specified as "--conf-file=/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf" it's difficult to do anything that won't get lost at upgrade time. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
