Subject: dnsmasq suggestion
To: simon@thekelleys.org.uk


Hello,

I recently needed a feature in dnsmasq for a very bizarre situation. I 
placed a list of name servers in a special resolve file and told dnsmasq 
to use that. But I wanted it to try requests in order and treat NXDOMAIN 
requests as a failed tcp connection. I wrote the feature into dnsmasq 
and it seems to work. I prepared a patch in the event that others might 
find it useful as well.

Thanks and keep up the good work.
