Summary	0000870: Local DNS lookups go out to the internet

Revision	2019-03-05 04:50 by NickH
Description	When monitoring my OpenDNS log I saw a lot of DNS queries with howitts.lan at the end of the URL going out to OpenDNS. howitts.lan is my internal LAN so queries should not go out into the internet. Please see this thread: http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,28/func,view/id,33723/#33723. [^] I fixed mine by adding the following to /etc/dnsmasq: local=/howitts.lan/ You may also need to add 127.0.0.1 to resolv.conf (which I use anyway)
