[Dnsmasq-discuss] Change dns result for FACEBOOK.COM

[Jorge Bastos]

Howdy,

I'd like to change the result of some dns query's, in particular, I want
to change the result of the query for FACEBOOK.COM.

Is this possible with dnsmasq?

absolutely...

in your dnsmasq.conf file, add the following lines...

# block these domains with NXDOMAIN
server=/example.com/
server=/facebook.com/
server=/fbcdn.net/
server=/fbcdn.com/
server=/facebook.net/


and you should look in the manual about the use of this config verb so that you
understand it more fully than this simple example can provide ;)

Howdy,

Oh that's nice, I even use that for local AD redirection.
Meanwhile, while looking at the config again, I just saw that there's a:

# --address (and --server) work with IPv6 addresses too.
#address=/www.thekelleys.org.uk/fe80::20d:60ff:fe36:f83

Which is exactly what I want, I could use your example but in this
particular case, I want to put users to see a message why they can't
access facebook.

Thanks for the help :)
