When using PXE proxy-DHCP, dnsmasq supplies PXE information to
the client, which also talks to another "normal" DHCP server
for address allocation and similar. The normal DHCP server may
be on the local network, but it may also be remote, and accessed via
a DHCP relay. This change allows dnsmasq to act as both a
PXE proxy-DHCP server AND a DHCP relay for the same network.
This acts almost exactly like --dhcp-option except that the defined option
is only sent when replying to PXE clients. More importantly, these
options are sent in reply PXE clients when dnsmasq in acting in PXE
proxy mode. In PXE proxy mode, the set of options sent is defined by
the PXE standard and the normal set of options is not sent. This config
allows arbitrary options in PXE-proxy replies. A typical use-case is
to send option 175 to iPXE. Thanks to Jason Berry for finding the
requirement for this.
When deriving a domain name from an IPv6 address, an address
such as 1234:: would become 1234--.example.com, which is
not legal in IDNA2008. Stop using the :: compression method,
so 1234:: becomes
1234-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000.example.com
When doing DNSSEC validation, a single downstream query may
trigger many upstream queries. On an unreliable network, there
may not be enough downstream retries to ensure that all these
queries complete.
A relatively common situation is that the reply to a downstream query
will fit in a UDP packet when no DNSSEC RRs are present, but overflows
when the RRSIGS, NSEC ect are added. This extends the automatic
move from UDP to TCP to downstream queries which get truncated replies,
in the hope that once stripped of the DNSSEC RRs, the reply can be returned
via UDP, nwithout making the downstream retry with TCP.
If the downstream sets the DO bit, (ie it wants the DNSSEC RRs, then
this path is not taken, since the downstream will have to get a truncated
repsonse and retry to get a correct answer.
Similar to local-service, but more strict. Listen only on localhost
unless other interface is specified. Has no effect when interface is
provided explicitly. I had multiple bugs fillen on Fedora, because I have
changed default configuration to:
interface=lo
bind-interfaces
People just adding configuration parts to /etc/dnsmasq.d or appending to
existing configuration often fail to see some defaults are already there.
Give them auto-ignored configuration as smart default.

Do not add a new parameter on command line. Instead add just parameter
for behaviour modification of existing local-service option. Now it
accepts two optional values:
- net: exactly the same as before
- host: bind only to lo interface, do not listen on any other addresses
than loopback.
Add the relevant information to the metrics and to the output of
dump_cache() (which is called when dnsmasq receives SIGUSR1).
Hence, users not collecting metrics will still be able to
troubleshoot with SIGUSR1. In addition to the current usage,
dump_cache() contains the information on the highest usage
since it was last called.
Also Dbus SetDomainServers method.
Revert getaddrinfo hints.ai_socktype to SOCK_DGRAM to eliminate
duplicating every address three times for DGRAM, STREAM and RAW
in the results.
This gives dnsmasq the ability to originate retries for upstream DNS
queries itself, rather than relying on the downstream client. This is
most useful when doing DNSSEC over unreliable upstream network. It
comes with some cost in memory usage and network bandwidth.
By default, when sending a query via random ports to multiple upstream servers or
retrying a query dnsmasq will use a single random port for all the tries/retries.
This option allows a larger number of ports to be used, which can increase robustness
in certain network configurations. Note that increasing this to more than
two or three can have security and resource implications and should only
be done with understanding of those.
This change also removes a previous bug
where --dhcp-alternate-port would affect the port used
to relay _to_ as well as the port being listened on.
The new feature allows configuration to provide bug-for-bug
compatibility, if required. Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski
for the feature suggestion.
This allows hosts get a domain which relects the interface they
are attached to in a way which doesn't require hard-coding addresses.
Thanks to Sten Spans for the idea.
