What the man page exactly says is that local-service "only has effect i[f] there are no --interface --except-interface, --listen-address or --auth-server options". > Here is what I found out how dnsmasq is started in Ubuntu 14.10: > /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --no-resolv --keep-in-foreground --no-hosts > --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-manager.dnsmasq.pid > --listen-address=127.0.1.1 [...] This is not the dnsmasq process started by the dnsmasq package. It is the local forwarding dnsmasq process started by NetworkManager. If your complaint is that the local forwarding dnsmasq process started by NetworkManager doesn't respond to queries coming from the network then the answer is that this process is not supposed to do that. But I don't think that this is your complaint because you said that you didn't have the problem in Ubuntu 13.10. On my machine, the dnsmasq process started by the dnsmasq package looks like this in ps -elf output /usr/sbin/dnsmasq -x /var/run/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.pid -u dnsmasq -r /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf -7 /etc/dnsmasq.d,.dpkg-dist,.dpkg-old ,.dpkg-new --local-service As no --interface --except-interface, --listen-address or --auth-server option is given, the --local-service option is active. In order to deactivate the local-service feature, I suggest you configure dnsmasq with one of the above mentioned options. ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414887 Title: dns query from localnetwork ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1414887/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
