Notes on making dnsmasq actually work

  • Don't accidentally run dhclient. If you do, you'll need to recreate the resolv.conf file. Fortunately, this is pretty simple; it's just a few lines in this format:
nameserver ip address

...where the list of IP addresses (one per line) can be found in the dnsmasq upstream servers file you created earlier. (You did, right?)

  • There are a number of other related files which need to be set up right, but they've gone out of my head for the moment so I'll have to come back to this.
