Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.55-2 Severity: normal I am using resolvconf and dnsmasq to handle internal DNS servers for our VPN. When openconnect creates the tun0 interface, it adds the internal nameservers using resolvconf. resolvconf modifies dnsmasq's configuration file, and dnsmasq rereads it. But my IRC client fails to reconnect to the internal server at this point, because the negative lookup has been cached - the IRC server's hostname is only valid inside the VPN.
I don't see any option to make dnsmasq clear its cache when the VPN comes up other than restarting dnsmasq entirely. It'd be nice if I could make this happen automatically when dnsmasq rereads the resolv.conf file. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dnsmasq depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu1 add and remove users and groups ii dnsmasq-base 2.55-2 A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP ii netbase 4.43 Basic TCP/IP networking system dnsmasq recommends no packages.
