I run DNSMasq as a docker container (I ran pretty much all services as docker containers), so it’s easier just to keep everything in the configuration files for DNSMasq and have a single thing to backup. ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss

Or use address directives to map a hostname to an IP address. i.e. address=/hosta/192.168.1.1 Will map hosta to 192.168.1.1 for DNS lookups. > On Aug 3, 2019, at 3:50 PM, Chris Green wrote: > > I'm running dnsmasq version 2.76 on a raspberry pi to provide DNS and > DHCP services on my LAN. > > I have some dhcp-host lines in my configuration file to give names to > systems that don't give their names, e.g.:- > >dhcp-host=00:09:B0:C9:CE:81,onkyoTx-nr616 >dhcp-host=28:EF:01:2D:EB:07,chrisKindle >dhcp-host=08:EB:74:9D:47:53,humaxFreeview >dhcp-host=2C:08:8C:CC:9A:9E,humaxYouview >dhcp-host=00:1F:E2:4E:8F:CA,maxineStudy >dhcp-host=1C:1B:0D:60:9A:E1,ben >dhcp-host=AC:AE:19:2C:3F:5A,roku >dhcp-host=10:FE:ED:63:29:74,TP-Link_TL-WA7210 > > Most of these work but a couple don't work ..and I think I have > just realised why they don't work.

[Dnsmasq-discuss] Some MAC addresses recognised, others not, in dhcp lines
I'm running dnsmasq version 2.76 on a raspberry pi to provide DNS and DHCP services on my LAN. I have some dhcp-host lines in my configuration file to give names to systems that don't give their names, e.g.:- dhcp-host=00:09:B0:C9:CE:81,onkyoTx-nr616 dhcp-host=28:EF:01:2D:EB:07,chrisKindle dhcp-host=08:EB:74:9D:47:53,humaxFreeview dhcp-host=2C:08:8C:CC:9A:9E,humaxYouview dhcp-host=00:1F:E2:4E:8F:CA,maxineStudy dhcp-host=1C:1B:0D:60:9A:E1,ben dhcp-host=AC:AE:19:2C:3F:5A,roku dhcp-host=10:FE:ED:63:29:74,TP-Link_TL-WA7210 Most of these work but a couple don't work ..and I think I have just realised why they don't work. Systems which don't request their IP address from dnsmasq don't provide dnsmasq with their MAC address and thus dnsmasq doesn't give them a name. Presumably these static IPs must be put into /etc/hosts on the dnsmasq system, is this the only way of handling this? -- Chris Green ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
