"expand-hosts" doesn't apply to CNAME records created with the "cname" option, which explains the odd behaviour you're seeing --- you'll need to manually add the FQDN to the record: cname=dashticz.agdon.net,domoticz.agdon.net cname=piaware.agdon.net,d15c087.agdon.net This shouldn't be a problem, since dnsmasq will be pushing the domain search list "agdon.net" via DHCP so your Mac's resolver will look up dashticz.agdon.net when given dashticz anyway. _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
