Acknowledge on "Does not work with four explicit MAC addresses" What about _two_ MAC addresses like dhcp-host=*:*:*:d0:4d:e3,*:*:*:d0:4d:e3,192.168.0.217 ??? > > A possibly more tidy solution to this problem is to configure your > > clients to send client-IDs in their DHCP requests.

Consider that such "configuration" is already in place, that the DHCP client already sents a device name. Either factory default like "Android-d0-4d-e3" or end user tuned like "Bobs Collar". > Thanks! Make another visit the mailinglist archive. Find back again the two MAC address posting (and share this time the link with us) IIRC is it a simular situation ( same problem => same solution ) Groeten Geert Stappers -- Silence is hard to parse _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
