"--dhcp-host=identification,192.168.0.199,lap" When identified, assign address 192.168.0.199 to it, add 'lap' as hostname into DNS part of dnsmasq.

[Dnsmasq-discuss] Using dhcp-hosts for static entries
Hello, I've discovered dhcp-hostsfile option. Is it possible to use this file as an alternative way to define static DNS entries as you would with an /etc/hosts file (and as updating with a simple SIGUP seems be convenient to me) ? If I'm correctly understanding man page (see [1]), it should be possible with a line like "--dhcp-host=lap,192.168.0.199" which "allocate the machine lap the IP address 192.168.0.199". In this exact contact, what does "lap" stands for given dhcp-host syntax (see [2]) ? Is it an hostname ? An id ? A tag ? May I add tha with Debian Buster's 2.80, both lines bellow failed: foo,1.2.3.4 1.2.3.4,bar [1] http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html [2] -G, --dhcp-host=[][,id:|*][,set:][tag:][,][,][,][,ignore] Best regards ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
