Hi,
I'd like to know if 'dnsmasq' use the 'search' key in resolv.conf to
extend the dns resolution ...
It doesn't. That would involve sending more than one query to the
upstream nameservers for each received query, which is difficult to do.
I'm using dnsmasq in a subnet but I'd like to access other hosts
"outside" without typing the entire domain name...
(because the 'dnsmasq' host is also a router)
If your hosts were running Unix/Linux, I would suggest just putting the
relevant domains into /etc/resolv.conf on each host, then the host will
do the correct queries. Since they are running Windows, you will have to
do the Windows equivalent. I'm pretty sure it exists.
Thank you.
For information, my current network is like this :
Subnet(Windows computers) <--- router with dnsmasq ---> External
net(s) with other domain names
.pi314
.res.insa
.ens.insa-rennes.fr
