1) why doesn't dnsmasq perform reverse DNS resolution by default? All
the info is in there but it seems like additional directives are
needed.
what do you mean? dnsmasq resoves everything it can, but only if you ask for
it.
2) Talking about having an external file where reverse lookup info is
held, how would this be linked to the main dnsmasq configuration and
what would the content of it look like e.g. syntax? All I could find
are configuration directives like:
host-record=node01.black.system,10.248.11.21
well, by this you explicitly configure dnsmasq to provide only A lookup.
but my idea would be to have something that looks more like the host
file (if possible at all). Where can I find the relevant documentation
on how to achieve this and/or can I get some help on how to get
started?
you can /etc/hosts instead, which is standard file in UN*X operating
systems. dnsmasq uses it for forward and reverse resolution, unless you
disable it.
