I'm feeling really silly, I've been using dnsmasq for several years running it on a dedicated Raspberry Pi on the LAN to provide local DNS. It's been working perfectly OK but just a very short while ago the Google DNS server at 8.8.8.8 went down for a while and it's what I (appear to) use as the upstream DNS. How and where does one set dnsmasq's upstream DNS? Is it the following line in /etc/dhcpcd.conf :- /etc/dhcpcd.conf:static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.4 8.8.8.8 fd51:42f8:caae:d92e::1 The file /run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf appears to be derived directly from the above:- chris@newdns$ more resolv.conf # Generated by resolvconf nameserver 192.168.1.4 nameserver 8.8.4.4 nameserver fd51:42f8:caae:d92e::1 The Raspberry Pi running dnsmasq is 192.168.1.4 on the LAN here, I'm running dnsmasq version 2.76. Would I be better with two unrelated DNS servers in the above configuration, e.g. a Google one and one from my ISP? -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
