This may be useful for embedded systems for example:
log-queries without only_failed places a heavy load on the
NAND flash memory. At the same time, logging requests
is necessary to troubleshoot network issues.

Change the behaviour of the DHVPv6 server when a REBIND message
is received but no lease exists. Under these circumstances a new
lease is created _only_ when the --dhcp-authoritative option is
set. This matches the behavior of the DHCPv4 server.
The large public DNS services seem not to return proof-of-nonexistence
for DS records at the start of RFC-1918 in-addr.arpa domains and the their
IPv6 equivalents. 10.in-addr.arpa, 168.192.in-addr.arpa etc.
Since dnsmasq already has an option which instructs it not bother
upstream servers with pointless queries about these address ranges,
namely --bogus-priv, we extend that to enable behaviour which allows
dnsmasq to assume that insecure NXDOMAIN replies for these domains
are expected and to assume that the domains are legitimately unsigned.
This behaviour only matters when some address range is directed to
another upstream server using --rev-server. In that case it allows
replies from that server to pass DNSSEC validation. Without such a
server configured, queries are never sent upstream so they are never
validated and the new behaviour is moot.
This should just work in all cases now. If the normal chain-of-trust exists into
the delegated domain then whether the domain is signed or not, DNSSEC
validation will function normally. In the case the delgated domain
is an "overlay" on top of the global DNS and no NS and/or DS records
exist connecting it to the global dns, then if the domain is
unsigned the situation will be handled by synthesising a
proof-of-non-existance-of-DS for the domain and queries will be
answered unvalidated; this action will be logged. A signed domain
without chain-of-trust can be validated if a suitable trust-anchor
is provided using --trust-anchor.
Thanks to Uwe Kleine-König for prompting this change, and contributing
valuable insights into what could be improved.
The "bit 0x20 encoding" implemented in 995a16ca0c
can interact badly with (hopefully) rare broken upstream servers. Provide
an option to turn it off and a log message to give a clue as to why DNS service
is non-functional.
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.
