Hello,

I like to configure my dhcp server with as little redundacy as possible. But it looks like the IP address needs to be written both of /etc/hosts and /etc/dnsmasq.conf

The client machines are in the /etc/hosts for example:

192.168.64.200 cntemplate.hpc

The non-default dnsmasq config options are:

no-resolv
server=192.168.5.251
expand-hosts
domain=hpc

Case 1:
dhcp-range=192.168.64.0,static
dhcp-host=cntemplate

Does not work, syslog said:
May 19 15:53:47 gw00 dnsmasq-dhcp[4912]: DHCPDISCOVER(vlan164) 02:00:00:00:00:65 no address available


Maybe I am not fully understanding your use case.   Here is how I have mine configured:


hosts:

192.168.101.10    hostname


dnsmasq.conf

dhcp-host=0c:9d:92:10:a1:8c,hostname


This ties the DHCP request (MAC) to the hostname and then the hostname to the ip in the hosts file.
