Re: How does dnsmasq get its upstream servers?

Updating /etc/dnsmasq.conf is racy and unreliable.

Is this known?

Will this be fixed?

root@erx:~#  cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf
#
# autogenerated by vyatta-dns-forwarding.pl on Fri Nov 18 07:16:52 UTC 2016
#
log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log
interface=eth0
cache-size=150
expand-hosts
domain-needed
domain=ubnt.lan,172.16.0.0/16,local
no-resolv   
root@erx:~# logout
ubnt@erx:~$ reboot now && exit 0

vs.

My config is in the other thread about radv and dnsmasq, posted two days ago.
