Yes it should i think (with a lack of a local network i can´t test it here).


Only one note on this howto. In the meantime i learned dnsmasq a little
more use now these settings here:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you want dnsmasq to listen for DHCP and DNS requests only on
# specified interfaces (and the loopback) give the name of the
# interface (eg eth0) here.
# Repeat the line for more than one interface.
#interface=lo
# Or you can specify which interface _not_ to listen on
except-interface=ppp0
except-interface=eth0
# Or which to listen on by address (remember to include 127.0.0.1 if
# you use this.)
listen-address=127.0.0.1
# If you want dnsmasq to provide only DNS service on an interface,
# configure it as shown above, and then use the following line to
# disable DHCP on it.
no-dhcp-interface=ppp0
no-dhcp-interface=eth0
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

With this config dnsmasq does no listen to external requests.
