Some research into the error below indicates that INOTIFY is probably used to monitor the status of the files in the specified *dir options so dnsmasq can automatically add records from changed files. But INOTIFY is only enabled when HAVE_LINUX_NETWORK is defined and specifically for APPLE kit, HAVE_BSD_NETWORK is defined. So for MacOS, no INOTIFY and so the ‘*dirs’ facility cannot be used.
At least, that’s how it appears to me. Happy to be corrected on that. No big deal as I’ll just use the *file version and rely on SIGHUP to force a re-read of all external files (except conf). But a mention of this limitation in the docs would have been appreciated. 😕 Ken G i l l e t t _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ > On 18 Mar 2021, at 19:10, Ken Gillett via Dnsmasq-discuss > <dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk> wrote: > > dnsmasq: dhcp-hostsdir, dhcp-optsdir and hostsdir are not supported on this > platform
