Hi Folks
(warning, this is behaviour noticed with the version of dnsmasq on my router -
version.bind. 0 CH TXT dnsmasq-2.61
apologies if fixed in a newer version)
I've been using OpenDNS with nxdomain to filter out their annoying

days tend to have fast networks that laugh off the traffic involved in
unicasting netboot images to a few thousand machines.
You tend to get hit by
Hi Folks,
