[Dnsmasq-discuss] IPv6 on OpenWRT

2016-12-26 Thread Alec Robertson
Hi all, I am using dnsmasq on OpenWRT and I have configured the DHCPv6 server and it is working well with the clients connected to the router. However, the DNS is not working; IPv6 requests are not successful. The clients are given the router’s IP for DNS, like they are with IPv4 but the DNS is

Thank you for your replies. What I mean (as I said I didn’t explain it very well), is that the sequential IP feature results in lots of empty IP addresses, so effectively you end up with a much smaller range of possible IP addresses. I was requesting the ability for dnsmasq to look through the

When using sequential IP, the IP allocation should start from the lowest available IP address. However, if the lease time is quite short for the clients, the clients can renew their IP addresses and be given IP addresses that don’t use the entire range available, meaning that you could have a
