dnsmasq - dns cache not working on all apps
I've set up dnsmasq with Networkmanager as stated in the wiki. It does work in Firefox and with 'drill example.com' (1st attempt = 18msec, rest = 0msec and no entries in Wireshark). But when i start a game like 'Stellaris' it doesn't work. It still queries the same DNS every time when starting up the game (with the DNS server defined in Networkmanager applet/xfce).
Why does it bypass the cache and how can i enforce it?
Is it possible that it does DNS resolving on its own? Are apps allowed on Linux to get the DNS server address by system API or similar?
