"dnsmasq" has some options which may be applicable here. >From the manual:- dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Also permitted is a -S flag which gives a domain but no IP address; this tells dnsmasq that a domain is local and it may answer queries from /etc/hosts or DHCP but should never forward queries on that domain to any upstream servers. local is a synonym for server to make configuration files clearer in this case. [ /etc/dnsmasq.conf ] # Add local-only domains here, queries in these domains are answered # from /etc/hosts or DHCP only. #local=/localnet/ T. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
