As per the subject when does dnsmasq [re]read the leases file? I am experimenting with my backup DHCP/DNS strategy and I have just stopped my dnsmasq server and started another listening on the first dnsmasq server's IP address. It's working OK'ish. However the new dnsmasq server doesn't (of course) know the name/IP pairs that the old dnsmasq server had in its memory.
If I had copied the dnsmasq.lease file across from the old server to the new one would that help? Is there some way to tell dnsmasq to reload its memory from the file? If dnsmasq is restarted (e.g. by systemd) does it read the dnsmasq.leases file? -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
