Do you think both strict-order
and no-resolv
are necessary, or just the latter? The man page indicates
strict-order
Setting this flag forces dnsmasq to try each query with each server strictly in the order they appear in /etc/resolv.confno-resolv
Don't read /etc/resolv.conf.

Yeah without looking at the code it wasn't obvious from the man page whether the order of server=
directives in the conf file was only significant if strict was set
from macos-security-and-privacy-guide.
I believe strict-order
does effect the order in which queries are attempted even for a purely dnsmasq.conf setup as soon as you have more than one server=
line. I think without that directive it will initially just query a random one from the list, and if it can obtain a result from there it will use that server by default next time. A fairly non-deterministic behaviour. However, if you enable strict-order it will always try them in top-down fashion regardless of which happened to respond successfully on previous attempts.
Obviously it has no effect if you only have a single server= entry, so feel free to omit it

@drduh out of interest, why did you drop the no-resolv
for 432d765?

Did I misunderstand you? I thought no-resolv
isn't necessary. Please send me a PR if I made a mistake.
