Here is my setting: dhcp-host=00:16:3e:00:00:01,kvm1,192.168.0.1,8h dhcp-host=00:16:3e:00:00:02,kvm2,192.168.0.2,8h On DNSmasq server (maroon): % /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart Restarting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasq. >From other boxes, $ dig kvm1 @maroon ; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2 <<>> kvm1 @maroon ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 41058 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;kvm1.
