      7 Hello,
      8 
      9 I recently needed a feature in dnsmasq for a very bizarre situation. I 
     10 placed a list of name servers in a special resolve file and told dnsmasq 
     11 to use that. But I wanted it to try requests in order and treat NXDOMAIN 
     12 requests as a failed tcp connection. I wrote the feature into dnsmasq 
     13 and it seems to work. I prepared a patch in the event that others might 
     14 find it useful as well.
     15 
     16 Thanks and keep up the good work.

README-2.47

      1 A remake of patch Bob Carroll had posted to dnsmasq,
      2 now compatible with version 2.47. Hopefully he doesn't 
      3 mind (sending a copy of this mail to him too).
      4 
      5 Maybe the patch in question is not acceptible
      6 as it doesn't add new switch, rather it binds itself to "strict-order".
      7 
      8 What it does is: if you have strict-order in the 
      9 dnsmasq config file and query a domain that would result 
     10 in NXDOMAIN, it iterates the whole given nameserver list 
     11 until the last one says NXDOMAIN.
