Re: Using DHCP from dnsmasq (u can haz dynamic DNS updates)

 Thanks for posting your config. I have a few more questions if you have the time to answer. I have read through as many entries as I could find related to getting local host names to resolve and haven't been able to find a definitive answer/config yet.

 

System configuration questions:

Do you currently have a domain name set on the system or on dns forwarding? I noticed on your previous configuration you had it set on dns forwarding but it looks like you have removed them and you are specifying several DNS servers instead (option server=)? My current config is: 

mjarends@router# show system domain-name                                        
Configuration under specified path is empty

What do you have your system level name-server set to? My current config is:

mjarends@router# show system name-server 
name-server 127.0.0.1

 

DNSMASQ related questions:

Does the service dhcp-server need to be disabled when you set use-dnsmasq to enable? The change log for 1.9.0 doesn't mention that it needs to be. My current config:

mjarends@router# show service dhcp-server disabled
disabled false

 

Currently the only options I have under dns fowarding are the cache-size and listen-on interfaces.My current dns fowarding config is:

 

mjarends@router# show service dns forwarding
 cache-size 250
 listen-on eth1
 listen-on eth2

I currently have my OpenDNS name servers set on my LAN1 interface. It looks like you have them set on dns forwarding instead.

 

mjarends@router# show service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN1 subnet 192.16
8.1.0/24 dns-server                                                             
 dns-server 208.67.222.222                                                      
 dns-server 208.67.220.220

 

I also noticed that you used the following options in your setup. Is 192.168.4.1 the IP address of your router? Do you keep an additional host name list on your router? Just wondering because I don't see this file on my system.

options addn-hosts=/config/dnsmasq.hosts
 options listen-address=192.168.4.1

 

And my last question is can you resolve host names in your local network? The only host names that I can get to reolve on my network are the Windows boxes.
