Hello,
I like to configure my dhcp server with as little redundacy as possible.
But it looks like the IP address needs to be written both of /etc/hosts
and /etc/dnsmasq.conf
The client machines are in the /etc/hosts for example:
192.168.64.200 cntemplate.hpc
The non-default dnsmasq config options are:
no-resolv
server=192.168.5.251
expand-hosts
domain=hpc
Case 1:
dhcp-range=192.168.64.0,static
dhcp-host=cntemplate
Does not work, syslog said:
May 19 15:53:47 gw00 dnsmasq-dhcp[4912]: DHCPDISCOVER(vlan164)
02:00:00:00:00:65 no address available
Case 2:
dhcp-range=192.168.64.0,static
dhcp-host=cntemplate,192.168.64.200
Working, but needed a duplicate entry both of /etc/hosts and
/etc/dnsmasq.conf
Case 3:
dhcp-range=192.168.64.100,192.168.64.250
dhcp-host=cntemplate,192.168.64.200
Working, but needed a duplicate entry both of /etc/hosts and
/etc/dnsmasq.conf
Case 4:
dhcp-range=192.168.64.100,192.168.64.250
dhcp-host=cntemplate
I might be missing something here but why do you use the option
'dhcp-host' if you specify the hostname in '/etc/hosts'?
