Overview
Dnsmasq is a DNS query forwarder. It will not answer arbitrary queries by recursively interact with root DNS servers. It will forward such queries to a fully recursive upstream DNS server.
The upstream servers can be inferred from /etc/resolv.conf, specified on command line with --server option or specified in the Dnsmasq configuration files with:
server=192.168.122.12
The upstream servers specified on command line or in the configuration file can optionally take a domain name which tells dnsmasq to use that server only to find names in that particular domain.
