To use my script you need 3 things: 1) To log queries 2) To log into a file you can read with the script 3) DJBDNS so you have programs dnsip and dnsname. I don't have the URL handy but the site is cryp.to In order to dump the cache to the file, issue killall -USR1 dnsmasq which I put into the rc.dnsmasq script so that a stop dumps the cache. At the end of your dnsmasq.conf, add (or uncomment) a line log-queries I also change the logging to go to /var/log/DNSMasq I posted this to dnsmasq-discuss on 2 June 2005: By default, dnsmasq logs daemon.debug. In /etc/syslog.conf look for debug to see which log file and where located. I dislike daemon.debug so I changed src/config.h to configure logging as local1.debug, then I added local1.* /var/log/DNSmasq to the end of syslog.conf (and restarted the syslog daemon). I don't have the original lines from config.h but here's what is there now: #ifdef LOG_LOCAL0 # define DNSMASQ_LOG_FAC(debug) (debug) ? LOG_DAEMON : LOG_LOCAL1 #else # define DNSMASQ_LOG_FAC(debug) LOG_LOCAL1 #endif -- gypsy
