How will the resolver know whether "patrick1" (example host from my
earlier email) is a meant to be resolved via a local or an upstream
server?
Because that's what domain-needed does. It will only try to resolve
upstream if the name has a domain part.

I've just downloaded and expanded the dnsmasq rpm. Going through
"/etc/dnsmasq.conf", IIUC, for my previous example:
server=/poc/192.168.1.111
server=/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.1.111
local=/poc/
That appears to work. I guess I have to read the docs more carefully.
Thanks again.
