Mmm, though one. Manual page says about #
--server=[/[<domain>]/[domain/]][<server>[#<port>]][@<interface>][@<source-ip>[#<port>]]
A non-standard port may be specified as part of the IP address using a
# character.
and
The special server address '#' means, "use the standard servers",
so --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/# will send
queries for
google.com and its subdomains to 1.2.3.4, except www.google.com (and
its
subdomains) which will be forwarded as usual.
Beside the "valid question", I don't get the
> server=8.8.8.8

combination. The second line is NOT needed.
The

is another configuration I don't get.
So I think there are two problems. One how to use # character for server.
The other one original poster having a hard time configuring dnsmasq
for their need. I hope that follow-up messages only follow-up one
problem and have a matching subject line.
