Thank you for your reply. It was just really to make it like every other router I’ve used. It’s not a “problem” as such. — Alec Robertson On 25 December 2016 at 11:03:35, Albert ARIBAUD (albert.arib...@free.fr) wrote: (TL;DR: skip to last paragraph of my reply) Hi Alec, Le Sat, 24 Dec 2016

Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Sequential IP doesn't look for unused IPs

I understand what you’re saying but I was suggesting this should be a feature enhancement. All the other routers I have used work the way I have described, be it NETGEAR, Asus, Huawei, etc. ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list

Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Sequential IP doesn't look for unused IPs

My apologies for the unclear explanation. For background I am using OpenWRT/LEDE r2544-a032940, on a TP-LINK Archer C7. For a test, if you set the leasetime to be very short, say 2 minutes and connect multiple devices, they will at first be given IPs in sequential order starting from the lowest

Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Sequential IP doesn't look for unused IPs

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

[Dnsmasq-discuss] Sequential IP doesn't look for unused IPs

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
