Hi Victor, Well, if you will insist on using *Windows* clients... :-} Dnsmasq is caching fine for me, with a broadly similar config, for Linux clients. Caching is turned on by default (for 150 entries). Are you sure your clients don't *also* have ns1.sonic.net defined as a name server, in addition to shadrach? You can check by running "ipconfig /all" and looking at the setting for "DNS Servers". You could also try un-commenting "log queries" in /etc/dnsmasq.conf to check if the query is actually hitting dnsmasq. david ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
