Hi, Some questions around pump, dhchp, dns and dnsmasq,
- Some dhcp server *requires* that hostnames be sent. I've found document on how to send hostnames with other dhchp clients except pump. Now, how can I configure pump to send hostnames when making dhchp requests? - The dnsmasq can be used as both dhchp and dns server. This is ideal for a home network. My question is, my router is currently acting as both dhchp and dns server for the moment, if I dedicate a box for dnsmasq as both dhchp and dns server, how would clients on my local network know which server to use? - When using dnsmasq with pump, the official document says, 'Using dnsmasq with pump -- Remove "nodns" in pump.conf to let pump update/overwrite /etc/resolv.conf' http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/buci-dnsmasq.html But I don't know how it is possible -- the /etc/resolv.conf file updated by pump has only one entry for nameserver, my current router. How can dns requests go to dnsmasq then? cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by pump for interface eth0 search mydomain nameserver 192.168.0.1 - When I said the dnsmasq is ideal for a home network, I meant that I hope to be able to give a fixed dhcp lease to a client that sends a particular name -- that way I just have to maintain dnsmasq.conf file on the gateway box for local dhchp and dns, and I don't have to fiddle around finding and recording and entering the MAC addresses for each network card on each machine, and fiddle with the router web interface. Have you done something similar? What are the steps? I got the idea from this clause in the original dnsmasq.conf file: # Enable the address given for "judge" in /etc/hosts # to be given to a machine presenting the name "judge" when # it asks for a DHCP lease. #dhcp-host=judge Thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
