hi

My idea is to use knot resolver as dns forwarder / cache instead using

dnsmasq. I am using old PC with archlinux as router.

I did change dnsmasq config so it listen on port 5353.

following steps here

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Knot_Resolver

I did change systemd unit so my kresd is listening on both local interfaces. I

am checking that with ss command and it is ok.

here is my config of kresd

cat /etc/knot-resolver/kresd.conf 

-- vim:syntax=lua:

-- Refer to manual: 

http://knot-resolver.readthedocs.org/en/latest/daemon.html#configuration

-- Load useful modules

modules = {

        'policy',           -- Block queries to local zones/bad sites

        'hints > iterate',  -- Load /etc/hosts and allow custom root hints

        'stats',            -- Track internal statistics

        'predict',          -- Prefetch expiring/frequent records

}

-- See kresd.systemd(7) about configuring network interfaces when using systemd

-- Listen on localhost (default)

-- net = { '127.0.0.1', '::1'}

-- Enable DNSSEC validation

-- trust_anchors.file = '/etc/knot-resolver/root.keys'

hints.root_file = '/etc/knot-resolver/root.hints'

-- Cache size

cache.size = 100 * MB

After start I can see following errors in journal
