Ideally yes. I'm currently looking at adding the additional ipv4 addresses in its exclude list with a view to sending a patch to Simon because there seems to be an unwillingness to move on this topic here, Unfortunately there's no pre-existing ipv6 'bogus-priv' block section of code for me to extend and I suspect it may be beyond my copy'n'paste'n'tweak code skills. More controversially I'm also of the opinion that 'bogus-priv' should be on in dnsmasq by default and I will suggest that to Simon. May I ask you look at the v1 of this patch to see how things have been headed so far: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/522303/ Meantime, I'm not a complete fan of occupying bandwidth & time on dns root servers sending them queries we know they cannot answer, so until (hopefully) upstream dnsmasq handles this sort of thing, I really don't see why we shouldn't.
