Given this: domain=example.com dhcp-host=11:22:33:44:55:66,10.1.1.2,myhost cname=alias.example.com,myhost.example.com Then it would appear that dnsmasq has enough information to respond to a lookup for alias.example.com with full information; since the information that would be returned to the query is unchanged by whether there is a lease or not, I would have expected it to do so. However, if I am reading the above correctly, that's not the case and there has to be an active lease on 'myhost' for dnsmasq to return the assigned IP. Assuming I have that right, I'm sure there's a good reason; could you enlighten me/us as to why?
