edns-packet-max on Merlin DNSMASQ

[Jumpstarter]

Why does DNSMASQ on Merlin use edns-packet-max=1280 instead of edns-packet-max=1232?

How can this be changed? I tried to add edns-packet-max=1232 in dnsmasq.conf.add but then dnsmasq won't start, telling that there is a duplicate option in its config.

It will be included in the next release, but you can use dnsmasq.postconf in the interim.

# cat dnsmasq.postconf
#!/bin/sh

CONFIG="$1"
. /usr/sbin/helper.sh

pc_replace "edns-packet-max=1280" "edns-packet-max=1232" "$CONFIG"

Thank you! Sadly nextdns overwrites any changes I do to this file. Looks like they delete and recreate it everytime their client restarts...
Edit: left a bug note at nextdns...
