Hi all, I think I came across a bug. Depending of the order of entries in /etc/hosts the permutation of answers for queries with more then one entry might not happen. According to [1], permutation is the desired behavior. Tested with dnsmasq 2.87test8.
Minimal example: /etc/hosts with ``` 10.0.2.1 gateway.lan 10.0.2.2 gateway.lan 10.0.2.1 son.lan ``` does permutate the answers to repeated queries by `dig gateway.lan` ___ However, if the order in /etc/hosts is ``` 10.0.2.1 son.lan 10.0.2.1 gateway.lan 10.0.2.2 gateway.lan ``` the answers are not permutated.
