Forwarder: what are VALID custom options?

MrPete

SOLVED:
Custom Forwarder Configuration uses the following to test whatever is entered:

/usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq --test (your stuff)

Where it inserts an argument prefixed by "--" for each custom item you add.

Original question:
I have quite a bit of experience customizing dnsmasq. I'm following the man page for it.
pfSense complains about "invalid custom option" without telling me:

What it thinks is a "bad" option

What it believes are valid options

Is there source code anywhere I could examine to see what it believes are good dnsmasq options?

pretty much everything that is inside /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf
it's faster if you tell us what and how you put stuff inside advanced configuration. pfsense can't tell you what's wrong because dnsmasq don't talk too mutch :)
you can check system Status / system logs, if you put something wrong inside advanced configuration
you will see that dnsmasq is only telling you this:

Feb 29 19:13:40 	dnsmasq 	68889 	FAILED to start up
Feb 29 19:13:40 	dnsmasq 	68889 	bad command line options: try -help

without any mods dnsmasq start like this:

nobody  /usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq --all-servers -C /dev/null --rebind-localhost-ok --stop-dns-rebind --dns-forward-max=5000 --cache-size=10000 --local-ttl=1

custom options need to be put inside without --

I solved it myself.

Source code: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/www/services_dnsmasq.php

Custom configuration uses the following to test whatever is entered:

/usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq --test (your stuff)

Where it inserts an argument prefixed by "--" for each custom item you add.

'Twas quite simple to diagnose my own issues once I have that!

(BTW, pfSense could say more, simply by testing items one at a time... ;) )
