Hello, I'm trying to make dnsmasq on my WRT54G (OpenWrt Whiterussian RC5) forward domain names from the router to machines "behind" the router.
Here's an example of my setup: "router" is the OpenWrt machine, providing DHCP to the 192.168.1.x network. It has an IP of 192.168.1.1 "machine" is a client machine behind the router. It gets its IP address via DHCP from dnsmasq on the wrt. I have an external DNS server pointing "router.example.com" to the router's static WAN IP. I also have machine.example.com pointing to that same IP. I want dnsmasq to "forward" machine.example.com to the client machine. What I have so far is working, but only from inside the 192.168.1.x network. From the outside, machine.example.com points to the router's info page instead of the client machine. Here's my /etc/hosts, pretty straightforward: 127.0.0.1 localhost OpenWrt 192.168.1.1 router 192.168.1.2 machine # forces pseudo-static IP address for client machine Here's my dnsmasq.conf, sans comments: domain-needed bogus-priv filterwin2k localise-queries local=/lan/ domain=example.com expand-hosts dhcp-host=router dhcp-authoritative dhcp-leasefile=/tmp/dhcp.leases read-ethers The only thing I can think of is changing the local line to say local=/example.com/. Right now, if I ping another machine from inside the network, the hostname for that machine shows up as machine.lan. Would this be my problem (part of the default OpenWrt install)?
