I've found 2 things in this patch I'm not sure about:

 1) According to the documentation about --local= parameter, it says:
    "Setting this flag does not suppress reading of /etc/resolv.conf,
    use -R to do that."  Shouldn't "no-resolv" be added as the option
    you want in the config file?

 2) If your answer to the previous question is "NO", which might very
    well be the case, for example if you don't want to forward that
    one particular domain only (and I misunderstood the commit
    message), I think you should just use the ",local" subparameter of
    the domain parameter (domain=example.com,local).  If you want to
    use the local= parameter, you would have to parse the domain value
    as it can be multiple domains separated by a comma and for domains
    that are actually IP addresses, you'd need to add the reverse of
    that (e.g. 122.168.192.in-addr.arpa).
