-nameserver 1.1.1.1
-nameserver 9.9.9.9
-</file>
-Replace 1.1.1.1/9.9.9.9 with the DNS servers you prefer.
-dnsmasq should read the list of nameservers automatically from /etc/resolv.conf.

-===== Update your devices to point to the DNS server =====
-Point your clients to the address of the server running Dnsmasq.
-It is easy to use Dnsmasq rather than setting up caching BIND server.
-But hold on it has some cool usage too.
-You can add domains which you want to force to specific IP address.
-For example, doubleclick.net displays ugly adds on many sites, just send this server it to our 127.0.0.1 (i.e. your local server ).
-Just open a file /etc/dnsmasq.conf and add following line to it:
-<file bash /etc/dnsmasq.conf>
-address=/doubleclick.net/127.0.0.1
-</file>
-Restart Dnsmasq and make sure you runs local webserver at 127.0.0.1 with some default page.
-Read the Dnsmasq man page and docs for more information.
