In mydnsmasq.conffile, I have either one of two sets of rules:

# Set 1:

no-resolv
server=8.8.8.8

server=/firebaseio.com/#
address=/*.firebaseio.com/

# Set 2:

no-resolv
server=8.8.8.8

server=/firebaseio.com/8.8.8.8
address=/*.firebaseio.com/

Running `dig firebaseio.com` using Set 1 gives local address, but using `Set 2` give a valid server IP address. Why does not the first set give a valid IP? Is not the rule `server=/firebaseio.com/#`supposed to fetch the IP address from the "the standard servers" defined by `server=8.8.8.8`?

the dnsmasq documentation says in the "-S --local --server=" docs:

The special server address '#' means, "use the standard servers", so --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/# will send queries for google.com and its subdomains to 1.2.3.4, except www.google.com (and its subdo‐ mains) which will be forwarded as usual.

which usually means, use servers mentioned in /etc/resolv.conf for that domain.

note that when you already have:

server=8.8.8.8

it's useless to specify any domains to the same server

server=/firebaseio.com/8.8.8.8

you can skip this line.
