Hi all,
We've been using dnsmasq very successfully now for nearly a year. However I
just have one quick query and unfortunately all my searching has come up with
nothing.
As we use dnsmasq internally we would like to redirect unknown hosts to an
internal server.
e.g. there's no host called ghost.mydomain.com so it should instead return an
address of portal.mydomain.com
Is this possible? I was exploring the use of NXDOMAIN but it didn't seem to fit
the bill.
No, it's generally considered to be a bad thing to do, and dnsmasq has a
function (bogus-nxdomain) which attempt to reverse it, when ISPs play
this trick. It's worth Googling "Verisgn NXDOMAIN" for why it's a bad idea.
Cheers,
Simon.
We're currently running dnsmasq 2.62 as shipped with Debian Wheezy.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Robert
