Hi all!

I have 2 nameservers and dnsmasq query the 2 nameservers. I think it should
only query one.

Configuration files and tcpdump of the problem attached.

Best regards

Dnsmasq queries all nameservers in parallel sometimes, to determine which are up and which is the fastest and therefore which one to use. Ir does not forward every query to all nameservers, this happens only for the first query after dnsmasq starts, once every 50 queries, or once every thirty seconds.

It's likely that you're testing after dnsmasq has been idle for more than 30 seconds, and that's why you are seeing this. It is not a bug. If you see dnsmasq sending _every_ query to both nameservers then that is a bug, but test under load first.

Note that it's possible to configure dnsmasq to send all queries everywhere, I assume you've not done that.


Cheers,

Simon.
