### Dnsmasq Setup
Dnsmasq is typically configured via files in the `/etc/dnsmasq.d` directory. To configure Consul, create the file `/etc/dnsmasq.d/10-consul` with the following contents:
Dnsmasq is typically configured via a `dnsmasq.conf` or a series of files in
the `/etc/dnsmasq.d` directory. In Dnsmasq's configuration file
(e.g. `/etc/dnsmasq.d/10-consul`), add the following:
```text
# Enable forward lookup of the 'consul' domain:
server=/consul/127.0.0.1#8600
# Uncomment and modify as appropriate to enable reverse DNS lookups for
# common netblocks found in RFC 1918, 5735, and 6598:
#rev-server=0.0.0.0/8,127.0.0.1#8600
#rev-server=10.0.0.0/8,127.0.0.1#8600
#rev-server=100.64.0.0/10,127.0.0.1#8600

Once that configuration is created, restart the dnsmasq service.

Additional useful settings in `dnsmasq` to consider include (see
[`dnsmasq(8)`](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html)
for additional details):
```
# Accept DNS queries only from hosts whose address is on a local subnet.
#local-service
# Don't poll /etc/resolv.conf for changes.
#no-poll
# Don't read /etc/resolv.conf. Get upstream servers only from the command
# line or the dnsmasq configuration file (see the "server" directive below).
#no-resolv
# Specify IP address(es) of other DNS servers for queries not handled
# directly by consul. There is normally one 'server' entry set for every
# 'nameserver' parameter found in '/etc/resolv.conf'. See dnsmasq(8)'s
# 'server' configuration option for details.
#server=1.2.3.4
#server=208.67.222.222
#server=8.8.8.8
# Set the size of dnsmasq's cache. The default is 150 names. Setting the
# cache size to zero disables caching.

If you don't get an answer from your DNS server (e.g. BIND, Dnsmasq) but you

If you see errors about network connections, verify that there are no firewall
or routing problems between the servers running BIND and Consul.
For Dnsmasq, see the `log-queries` configuration option and the `USR1`
signal.
