Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp-host=hostnameonly does not work
Also, /etc/ethers does not accept IPv6 addresses, and, even when using the hostname instead, the ether address will not associate with >> an IPv6 address in /etc/hosts. Again, "dhcp-host=..." still has to be used for DHCPv6. Oops - I had "bind-interfaces" instead of "bind-dynamic", and DHCPv6 was not listening. Apparently, the ether address *does* associate with an IPv6 address in /etc/hosts when using the hostname in /etc/ethers, so that actually works. But then, "dhcp-host=..." would still be needed to use the client DUID instead of the ether address. ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss

[Dnsmasq-discuss] "dig" and "host" unhappy with dhcp-host= - "Got bad packet: extra input data"
dnsmasq 2.86 and dnsmasq-git 2.87test8.r16.g770bce9-1 Does dnsmasq create dns entries for hosts with dhcp-host= entries? Or, instead, must all of these dhcp-host= hosts be redundantly listed in /etc/hosts?
