[Dnsmasq-discuss] "The" way to start dnsmasq via systemd

[george Nopicture]

Hello list. I was wondering what is the proper way to start dnsmasq
from systemd in linux. A default systemd unit file assumes a simple
type of service and starts it with -k (keep in foreground).
Is that correct or should we specify type=forking and let dnsmasq fork
in the background?
Thanks,
George.

    centos 7 systemd file for dnsmasq uses -k:

[***@firewall ~]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service
[Unit]
Description=DNS caching server.
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dnsmasq -k

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
