Yes, host-record works. Here is what I did as a workaround to the cname issue: add "dhcp-host" record to do static IP reservation for "client1", and then add "host-record" for "alias" with "client1" IP. Now I can lookup alias.test.example.com and get the IP of client1, without the need of cname to client1. _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
