Well you are right that line nameserver 127.0.0.1 was automatically getting deleted from /etc/resolv.conf I wanted the localhost to respond to DNS queries which Apache was sending to port 53. I was not clear as how it will work So in previously dnsmasq.conf I had uncommented it listen-address=127.0.0.1 but now I have commented it.As you mentioned. The error in my case I was having is due to a wrong mapping in /etc/hosts file. I had mapped 2 IPs to same VM which I after analysing with tcpdump found where the requests were going. I am in a DMZ where the requests do not go out of localhost to get resolved. Hence I was in trouble as this is a production server.Thanks for your help. -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
