Hi Gordon,
depends on your configuration, which you forgot to provide.
What is in /etc/resolv.conf for example? What flags/configuration are
both instances using?
I would quess 127.0.0.1 might be in resolv.conf. That would mean hosts.2
instance would query hosts.1 instance. That might or might no
I'm running two dnsmasqs daemons one on port 53 another one on port 5333,
both set cache-size=8192, are these two dnsmasq processes sharing the same
cache or they're totally independent as far as cache goes?
each dnsmasq also calls different host files, i.e. /etc/hosts.1(for port
53) and /etc/host
