Morning. Trying to setup dnsmasq on my little network, and having some trouble.
Running
dig cnn.com
; <<>> DiG 9.11.5-P4-5.1ubuntu2.1-Ubuntu <<>> cnn.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
trying directly to check my server, I get the following:
nslookup cnn.com 172.16.99.50
Server: 172.16.99.50
Address: 172.16.99.50#53
Non-authoritative answer: Name: cnn.com
Address: 151.101.1.67
Name: cnn.com
Address: 151.101.129.67
Name: cnn.com
Address: 151.101.65.67
...
Looking at the dnsmasq service, I see the following:
status dnsmasq.service

systemd[1]: Started dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS
server.
the /run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf file is empty (and obviously get overridden on restarting the service).
ON the dnsmasq, I set the no-resolve option to ignore the /etc/resolv.conf file So I believe there's a problem pointing the queries to the local dnsmasq instance since if I point it explicitly things do work. Any ideas where does the dnsmasq take the definition for the /run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf file ?
Any other troubleshooting steps ?
Thanks in advance !
