Very stange:

I have uncommented 'log-queries' and 'log-dhcp' in dnsmasq.conf.

When I do a 'ping' from the Linux box I get valid dnsmasq query logs.
When I do the same from the MacBook I get no related log entries at all.

It almost looks like that no commands ('ping', 'ssh' etc.) are hitting the dnsmasq server:

I have a local network with the domain "prager.homeip.net" and local a

'dig' resolves the local host correctly, but 'ping' tries to connect
to the external network ip address instead.


ping may use additional means to resolve a domain, not just plain DNS.

Did you check whether/how requests corresponding to your ping'ed domain
would register in dnsmasq's logs?


Kind regards,
