Well for 2), it clearly looks like a case of negative caching (dnsmasq has no upstream server, therefore it only uses /etc/hosts only, if the entry isn't in there, it considers it a NXDOMAIN), upstream also seems to be aware of that behaviour as they offer the option to turn off negative caching.
Anyway, I personally don't really care, I just want to confirm that this isn't related to what we have in a default Ubuntu install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172467 Title: Dnsmasq caches negative results if it starts before the network is up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1172467/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
