Hello.

I am running my ubuntu sever for over 2 years - Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-32-generic x86_64) as today.

I am using dnsmasq as DHCP server and DNS forwarder.

Today dnsmasq unexpectedly stopped resolving hostnames.

ps aux|grep dnsmasq

dnsmasq 3359 0.0 0.0 30052 940 ?

This might be the right forum, or not.

Old stock DNS (nslookup, dig, ssh) etc would attempt to use each of the domains listed in the search list (/etc/resolv.conf) to find a given target given a base_name (w/out a ".")

The current configuration uses 127.0.0.1 as a caching server and relies on dnsmasq to lookup dns entries from upstream providers. DNSmasq as driven by NetworkManag

Hi,

The way dnsmasq works with 12.10 has changed again, from 12.04. I have searched the Ubuntu documentation and Google for further info , without success.

Basically in 12.04 , dnsmasq moved the contents of /etc/resolv.conf to /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf. You could see what the upstream DNS servers were.

Published at LXer:

dnsmasq is a lightweight, open-source DNS forwarder and DHCP server. In this article we go through how to prepare the system in order to run dnsmasq and also how to configure the latter as a caching-only DNS server. A configuration file is also provided as a drop-in replacement for the default dnsmasq.conf that ships with your system.

I've had dnsmasq installed for years to cache DNS requests.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed, and also use unbound and usually use openDNS as my DNS server.

When I run dig google.com say I get SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1). What exactly is this thing listening on port #53?

I'm running Ubunut 12.04

I want *localhost.dev to point to 127.0.0.1.

Ubuntu 12.04 comes with dnsmasq-base installed with network-manager. But there is no /etc/dnsmasq.conf.

So I installed the dnsmasq package The /etc/dnsmasq.conf file appeared I added: address=/localhost.dev/127.0.0.1 sudo restart network-manager

Doesn't work. How do I solve this?

EDIT: Turns out it works after a restart.

[ubuntu] dnsmasq help plz 41 weeks 1 day ago

Every time I start dnsmasq I get this

Starting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasq dnsmasq: no interface with address 10.8.0.1 failed!

and if I start openvpn my vps shuts down were I can not connect to it at all via ssh I have to reset it all using the website I followed this guild http://library.linode.com/networking...bian-6-squeeze I've done everything there but yet ran into this problem.

I've got a problem with dnsmasq on my server everything but dns works on it, it currently gives out dhcp fine and points to the router etc however when i go to a website it wont find it, the dns is pointed to the server on the client machines.
