Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Different dns config based on network address
Cyro, I think what you want to use is tags. If you read thru the conf file there are numerous references to them. - Jay Sent from my iPhone On Oct 10, 2012, at 9:04, Cyro Wicks cyrofi...@pcmasters.com.br wrote: Hello all, I have a firewall and dns server for my entire network, and what i would like to do is to have dnsmasq to read /etc/hosts_net1 or /etc/hosts_net2 based on the network address coming from net1 or net2.

Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] How to add local configuration to Network Manager initiated dnsmasq in Ubuntu 12.04
Strange. I installed 12.04 from scratch, and had to install dnsmasq and change it in the NetworkManager. In fact I finally fixed an issue with the Ubuntu machine itself not resolving names outside itself (ie Internet DNS) by changing the line to dns=dnsmasq,dns Thus the default on a new install was dns not dnsmasq. I will check the workstation I upgraded to 12.04 later tonight. - Jay Sent from my iPhone On Oct 9, 2012, at 4:39, Chris Green c...@isbd.net wrote: On Mon, Oct 08, 2012 at 06:49:38PM -0400, Jay Imerman wrote: On Oct 8, 2012, at 14:04, Chris Green c...@isbd.net wrote: I have run dnsmasq with local configuration for quite a while now to provide local DNS services on my home LAN.

Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] System tries to get its address by DHCP before dnsmasq starts up - how to stop it?
There is a NetworkManager.conf file, in there the line dns= should Jane dnsmasq as the setting. I haven't noticed any delays in my setup, same thing: 12.04 with static IP v4 settings, it is nice and snappy. - Jay Sent from my iPhone On Oct 4, 2012, at 11:04, Dan Williams d...@redhat.com wrote: On Thu, 2012-10-04 at 12:20 +0100, Chris Green wrote: On Thu, Oct 04, 2012 at 10:23:33AM +0100, Chris Green wrote: I have a little server system running dnsmasq version 2.59 under Ubuntu 12.04 (I have just upgraded it from Ubuntu 10.04). While booting it tries to get its network configuration (using DHCP presumably) from the LAN, since *it's* the DHCP server this doesn't work but it wastes a lot of time waiting for things to time out and produces various error messages on the way. How do I configure the system so that it doesn't do this? Further to this the delay is cause by /etc/init/failsafe.conf, even if I have static IP correctly configured in /etc/network/interfaces the silly init sequence still does all the waits in /etc/init/failsafe.conf waiting for DHCP. Google searches just produce the standard way to set up static IP but no workaround for the delays. Is the machine running NetworkManager? If so it could be a misconfiguration issue or an Upstart dependency issue.

Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Pulling DHCP leases from an external script?
I'm not 100% certain, but the way I read the man page, the script is triggered after the dnsmasq event occurs, so you can pass some custom behavior to a script after dnsmasq has managed the lease. However, it sounds like you want to customize dnsmasq behavior and insert your own algorithm for allocating IP addresses? Just out of curiosity, why? You can specify quite a complex set of allocation rules using tags and more, why would you need to have anything other than that? ___ Jay Imerman T (248) 230-4373 | F (952) 255-2056 4067 Highview Court Waterford, MI 48329-4712 http://twitter.com/#%21/jimerman http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=15203444trk=tab_pro http://www.facebook.com/jay.imerman On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 3:14 PM, Brian Rak b...@gameservers.com wrote: I'm trying to set up a DHCP server so that on any request for a new lease I can execute a script and have the script return an IP address (and other information). Is this something that is currently possible with dnsmasq? From reading the man page, I can't tell if I will get this behaviour with --dhcp-script --leasefile-ro. Basically, it would be impossible for me to specify all the possible DHCP leases at startup, but when a lease request is received I would be able to determine what IP to assign. __**_ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.**thekelleys.org.ukDnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.**uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-**discusshttp://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
