Hi,

Can dnsmasq automatically starting using an upstream DNS server which
was unavailable for a short duration and came back online ?

For example : dnsmasq configured to use server-A and server-B, and server-A
went offline for few hours and came back online. Now, will dnsmasq detect
this change and start using server-A? or will it continue to send queries
to server-B until I restart the dnsmasq service ?

Regards,
Prasad

It will detect servers coming and going. There's no need to restart.


Cheers,

Simon.
