'dnsmasq forwards local request despite domain-needed
From a new Debian 11 installation, I use the following dnsmasq configuration
domain-needed
log-queries
no-resolv
no-hosts
server=8.8.8.8
So Dnsmasq should not forward a no-full qualified request to the server.
But when I run host nowhere, /var/log/syslog shows the following lines
Mar 11 20:52:42 gateway dnsmasq[3904]: query[A] nowhere from 127.0.0.1
Mar 11 20:52:42 gateway dnsmasq[3904]: config nowhere is NODATA-IPv4
Mar 11 20:52:42 gateway dnsmasq[3904]: query[AAAA] nowhere from 127.0.0.1
Mar 11 20:52:42 gateway dnsmasq[3904]: config nowhere is NODATA-IPv6
Mar 11 20:52:42 gateway dnsmasq[3904]: query[MX] nowhere from 127.0.0.1
Mar 11 20:52:42 gateway dnsmasq[3904]: forwarded nowhere to 8.8.8.8
So the request is forward to 8.8.8.8.
Is it a bug ?
Solution 1:[1]
domain-needed is only for A and AAAA queries. Your log shows only MX query forwarding.
-D, --domain-needed Tells dnsmasq to never forward A or AAAA queries for plain names, without dots or domain parts, to upstream nameservers. If the name is not known from /etc/hosts or DHCP then a "not found" answer is returned.
