+Local DNS cache service.
+
+This service is useful if you have more than 3 DNS servers,
+or if you need a finer-grained control of which servers
+can serve which domain.
+
+To make programs use local DNS server, make sure
+/etc/resolv.conf says:
+
+nameserver 127.0.0.1

+#−T, --local-ttl=<time>
+# When replying with information from /etc/hosts or configuration
+# or the DHCP leases file dnsmasq by default sets the time-to-live
+# field to zero, meaning that the requester should not itself
+# cache the information. This is the correct thing to do in almost
+# all situations. This option allows a time-to-live (in seconds)
+# to be given for these replies. This will reduce the load on the
+# server at the expense of clients using stale data under some
+# circumstances.
+local-ttl=67
+
+#--dhcp-ttl=<time>
+# As for --local-ttl, but affects only replies with information
+# from DHCP leases. If both are given, --dhcp-ttl applies for DHCP
+# information, and --local-ttl for others. Setting this to zero
+# eliminates the effect of --local-ttl for DHCP.
+#
+#--neg-ttl=<time>
+# Negative replies from upstream servers normally contain time-to-
+# live information in SOA records which dnsmasq uses for caching.
+# If the replies from upstream servers omit this information, dns-
+# masq does not cache the reply. This option gives a default value
+# for time-to-live (in seconds) which dnsmasq uses to cache nega-
+# tive replies even in the absence of an SOA record.
+neg-ttl=67
+
+#--max-ttl=<time>
+# Set a maximum TTL value that will be handed out to clients. The
+# specified maximum TTL will be given to clients instead of the
+# true TTL value if it is lower. The true TTL value is however
+# kept in the cache to avoid flooding the upstream DNS servers.
+#
+#--max-cache-ttl=<time>
+# Set a maximum TTL value for entries in the cache.
+#
+#--min-cache-ttl=<time>
+# Extend short TTL values to the time given when caching them.
+# Note that artificially extending TTL values is in general a bad
+# idea, do not do it unless you have a good reason, and understand
+# what you are doing. Dnsmasq limits the value of this option to
+# one hour, unless recompiled.
+min-cache-ttl=67
+
+#--auth-ttl=<time>
+# Set the TTL value returned in answers from the authoritative
+# server.
