We have one report of such. Try it and let us know if it works for you!

Allow me to reiterate: We at Men & Mice have not heard of this working. We do not support it. We did not think it would ever work with the 2.x code without help.

We do know that this can be accomplished with 3rd party software, though; specifically, a software router such as IPNetRouter or Vicomsoft Internet Gateway can make QDNS work on multiple interfaces. Of course, as far as QDNS is concerned, it's only responding on one interface.
