DNSMASQ on LMDE problem
I have followed the install instructions on many web pages https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq to set up DNSMASQ for local caching. It work under UBUNTU. I get it to work by editing the files and local sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart but when i reboot the prepend command seems not to work and /etc/resolve written by network manager does not include the 127.0.01 line. I am not sure what to change to fix this. I have searched web with no luck.

Re: DNSMASQ on LMDE problem
Wouldn't it be easier to download the Debian version of DNSMASQ - http://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/dnsmasq

Re: DNSMASQ on LMDE problem
I am sorry my refenece was to ubuntu guide but it is more detailed then debian local cache section on what to put in what files - It will not work as network manager creates resolve file without 127.0.0.1 and this seems to indicate that it is ignoring the prepend command from /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. Yes I loaded via synaptic in LMDE and I am not trying file form UBUNTU either.

Re: DNSMASQ on LMDE problem
Just having a quick poke around, found this;-
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1251384
"The source of the problem is most likely that ppp client fails to respect the prepend domain-name-servers line in dhclient.conf. The resolution should probably be included in some FAQ about PPP and dnsmasq (or similar local dns cache) (I found it in a debian bug), but because I had to (again) google this up when setting up a new Ubuntu (10.4 amd64) laptop and landed in this thread, here's the missing magic:
sudo apt-get install resolvconf"
Also a registered bug on Debian - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596507
Seems to suggest that you are putting the prepend in the wrong place;-
"Apparently, the 'new' location for the 'dhclient.conf' file is '/etc/dhcp', as opposed to the old location '/etc/dhcp3', which is where the old dhcp3-client put things."

Re: DNSMASQ on LMDE problem
No problem - it may well be that Ubuntu wtill keeps it in the original place, while Debian have moved things because they can...
