Hi John, thanks for your reply.
I did some tests with your hints. On 7.1.2019 17:41, john doe wrote:

Do not work with my setup, because when we re-deploy a VM, the MAC address will be autom. changed. The re-delpoyed VM will than get a different IP as the old vm had before.
# Always give the host with client identifier 01:02:02:04 # the IP address 192.168.0.60 #dhcp-host=id:01:02:02:04,192.168.0.60 # Always give the host with client identifier "marjorie" # the IP address 192.168.0.60 #dhcp-host=id:marjorie,192.168.0.60
OK, the setting of the DHCP Client ID on the linux clients to example the "hostname" will fix the problem. But, as far as I see, I can not change or set the DHCP Client-ID on Windows systems :-( Or, when we need to run a vm appliance, where I do not have access to the OS, this option will also not work.
Do you have an other idea how I can fix the problem?
# 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 See also (1) for more info on 'dhcp-host'. 1) http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html
Maybe is it possible to "patch" the code of dnsmasq, where dnsmasq can ignore the MAC address in the DHCP task?
