DNS resolving: ask the next nameserver if the first doesn't know the answer but resps
Hello,
I am connected to the company's VPN and resolving works just fine for all company's machines and also for the global ones (google for example).
The thing is that I want to use those company's DNS servers only for resolving company's hostnames, not the global ones. If I put my local DNS server before the company's ones in /etc/resolv.conf, I cannot resolv company's hostnames, because the local server responds, but doesn't know the answer. And the machanism doesn't ask the next nameserver... If I put the local DNS server at the end, the company's DNS server knows all the answers and my local DNS server is never asked.
From dnsmasq's home page: "Dnsmasq can be configured to send queries for certain domains to upstream servers handling only those domains. This makes integration with private DNS systems easy".
