[Dnsmasq-discuss] Stop local search queries...

[Brad]

I am setting up dnsmasq at home to monitor some things and have everything
working, but all my queries are initially appended with .home. All queries
are initially *.home, then forwarded to Google for final resolution.

Here is the query.log

And here is my entire dnsmasq.conf file:

domain-needed
bogus-priv
no-resolv
server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4
interface=eth0
listen-address=127.0.0.1
cache-size=10000
log-queries
log-facility=/var/log/dns/query.log
local-ttl=300
log-async

Obviously I am trying to keep things VERY simple. Any and all help is much
appreciated!!!

Thanks...

Have you looked at the configuration of the querying client, especially
its /etc/resolv.conf file?

This should suffice:
domain=home
server=/home/

I believe you need something like
server=/home/192.168.1.1#53
local=/home/
in your configuration in order to stop dnsmasq from forward *.home addresses.
BTW, it's not dnsmasq which creates these queries, it is system resolv lib.
