Hi Giles,

This is exactly how it works, you add a record to /etc/hosts file, that could be any record. There's only one confusing step -- you need to restart dnsmasq every time you edit the file as dnsmasq doesn't detect changes automatically.

Is there a way (using just DNSmasq, not installing a full service DNS

name?  A name that's not a local DHCP lease.  I have a Digital Ocean
"droplet" that's just an IP, but I've given it a name and normally
stuff that name and the IP into the /etc/hosts file.  But if I put it
into the router, I wouldn't have to keep editing hosts files ...
