Hello, dnsmasq-2.87:
It took me quite some time to figure this out :-) When you disable the DNS-server via port=0 the /etc/hosts file is ignored and also the addn-hosts=<fn> is ignored. This then results in the problem, that the DHCP-server still works, but if you use the dhcp-host=da:7a:3a:62:7d:d2,trb where trb is a name in /etc/hosts dnsmasq reacts with: DHCPDISCOVER(enp2s0) da:7a:3a:62:7d:d2 no address available I checked via strace that it really doesn't even open /etc/hosts nor the given file via the "addn-hosts" option. Looks for me like a bug. I can not find a logical reason, why a dhcp-server *needs* to have a running DNS-server. Or is it a feature? :-) Thanks a lot, Michael _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
