I am wanting to keep all of my configuration in the dnsmasq.conf file,
therefor am not maintaining a separate hosts file.
For some machines that are not running a DHCP client, and therefore
never request an IP lease, those machines will not be returned when
dnsmasq is asked for name resolution.
In this example, "proxy" is a DHCP client machine, and "routerpi" is a
static IP machine with no DHCP client installed.
root@routerpi:/etc# nslookup proxy
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find proxy: No answer
root@routerpi:/etc# nslookup mediapi
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Name: mediapi
Address: 192.168.10.203
The entries in dnsmasq look like this:
dhcp-host=192.168.10.203,mediapi
dhcp-host=192.168.10.61,proxy
I have also tried the format that includes MAC addresses, but the result
is the same:
# dhcp-host=dc:a6:32:4f:ce:4e,192.168.10.203,mediapi
And the log file contains:
dnsmasq: 147 127.0.0.1/53500 query[A] mediapi from 127.0.0.1
dnsmasq: 147 127.0.0.1/53500 DHCP mediapi is 192.168.10.203
dnsmasq: 171 127.0.0.1/56905 query[A] proxy from 127.0.0.1
dnsmasq: 171 127.0.0.1/56905 config proxy is NODATA-IPv4
How do I get the static IP hosts to be resolved?
This used to work, and I'm not sure what's changed.
