With dns-dnsmasq enabled...

This is what I get with and without VPNREACTOR VPN:
1. https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ leaktest with and without VPN:
   http://i62.tinypic.com/2sblhlg.jpg
   WITHVPN:    dns server is vpn dns server
   WITHOUTVPN: dns server is google dns server
2. dig with and without vpn reports the same thing:
   $ dig redhat.com|grep SERVER
   WITHOUTVPN:  ;; SERVER: 127.0.1.1#53(127.0.1.1)
   WITHVPN:     ;; SERVER: 127.0.1.1#53(127.0.1.1)

With dns-dnsmasq disabled...

This is what happens with and without VPNREACTOR VPN:
1. https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ leaktest with and without VPN:
   http://i60.tinypic.com/qxw3rk.jpg
   WITHVPN:     dns server is optimal link corp (presumably from VPN)
   WITHOUTVPN:  dns server is google dns server (from my home router)
2. dig with and without vpn:
   $ dig redhat.com|grep SERVER
   WITHOUTVPN: ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1
   WITHVPN     ;; SERVER: 216.230.224.34#53(216.230.224.34)

Notice the only thing different is the result of the dig command
between the first case (which is the default dns-dmasq set) and
the second case (which is the dns-dmasq commented out).

Can someone help me understand these results?
