Public bug reported:
Most people won't run into this problem, but if you use a very large
hosts-file (like this one here: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/) you
fill up the cache completely. No matter what you set for cache-size, the
maximum possible value is hardcoded in the file option.c of the dnsmasq
sources.
As there is no indication of this arbitrary limit , you might end up
wondering: why the hell is dnsmasq not caching anything?
The value was probably put there to save resources if dnsmasq runs on an
embedded system and users who need a bigger cache size can setup their
patched instance of dnsmasq, but there should be at least some kind of
warning in the default config file.
