[Dnsmasq-discuss] Re : how to handle the local domain (A, PTR)
Hello Wojtek. --- En date de : Ven 27.7.12, Wojtek Swiatek w...@swtk.info a écrit : Hello, I set up dnsmasq on my home network to replace the isc/bind legacy system :) when changing the architecture. The setup relies on a debian which acts as the router/firewall/master of all truth (DNS, ntp, ...): - an ADSL access to Internet with the public IP assigned to eth1 - a wired network 192.168.0.0/24 bound to eth0 (which has the 192.168.0.10 address) - a wired network 192.168.1.0/24 bound to wlan3 (which has the 192.168.1.10 address) - the domain name for the internal network is home - firewalling is handled by shorewall The dnsmasq configuration is: domain-needed bogus-priv local=/home/ [...snipped...] What does not work: the home domain name does not seem to be handled: * /etc/hosts has a 192.168.0.10 server.home entry which is not used, ie. dig server does not return the name, dig server.home does not either. * PTR records for DHCP-assigned names are not there I am sure that this is something obvious but I am brand new to dnsmasq and would appreciate very much any pointers. Thank you, Wojtek I'm no DNS expert but I always believed there had to be a dot in the domain name, at least for Windows -- if anyone can confirm that... Have you tried a domain name localdomain.local or home.local for instance? If you have no Apple device in your network, at least it should work from Windows and *NIX machines. (Apple devices/machines might cause issues with the .local suffix when using bonjour.)

But I want to have the DNS entries permanently preserved resp. dns mappings without prior dhcp ip negotiation. Actually this means I don't want DNS to be dynamic. Is this somehow configurable? Yes. Put the hostname-IP address mapping in /etc/hosts and the mac_address-hostname mappings in /etc/dnsmasq.conf in dhcp-host lines. so: in /etc/hosts 1.2.3.4 myhost in /etc/dnsmasq.conf dhcp=host=00:11:22:33:44:55,myhost So this means that I can't maintain my hosts in a single file with only one statement? Single statement, not that I know of. Single file, sure. See -A, --address in the man page. in /etc/dnsmasq.conf : dhcp=host=00:11:22:33:44:55,myhost address=/myhost/1.2.3.4 -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if /dev/rob0 is in the Subject: ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss

(Apple devices/machines might cause issues with the .local suffix when using bonjour.) .local is also burned on Windows. To many people own iGadgets, which need iTunes, and iTunes installs Bonjour... The Linux Desktop cabal also pushes hard for avahi, which burns .local nearly everywhere. Simply use .lan. I renamed all nets i could get my hands on, and they run better afterwards...
