Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.68-1 Severity: normal I am not sure if this is an expected behavior or not, but what I added the custom entries, I expected them.
If we feed dnsmasq with entries like: address=/foo.bar.local/127.0.0.1 These hostnames resolve when doing a dig / host, but when using the real tools (ping, web browser), the host name is not resolvable. It took me a while to narrow it down to dnsmasq. If the same is fed to /etc/hosts, things work fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dnsmasq depends on: ii dnsmasq-base 2.68-1 ii netbase 5.1 dnsmasq recommends no packages.
