[Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp unknown vs. known

[Mogens Melander]

Hi all.

I'm trying to get dnsmasq to handle 2 dhcp-ranges. One for
MAC addresses i know, and another for MAC's i dont know.

I want to assign 192.168.1.8 - 192.168.1.16 to unknown MAC's and
192.168.1.18 - 192.168.1.200 to known MAC's.

My idea was to redirect all unknown http trafic to a local web-server,
where users assigned a login/password can register, and a script can
generate a config file with a dhcp-host entry for that MAC.

I did "kinda" work. Using and old win 98 labtop i got assigned
an ip in the unknown range. After creation of dhcp-host in a file,
a ipconfig /renew gave me an ip in known range. I'm unable to get
out of the known segment. Even when removing the config file for
this MAC, dnsmasq continues to assing the ip the client ask for.

And, i can't get the redirection to work either.

Hope this rant make sense to someone.

I'm shure i've seen this setup somewhere, but i just can't find
that site again.

Hints, ideas are more than welcome :)

Files in /etc/dnsmasq/hosts containing entries like:

dhcp-host=id:00:60:08:03:07:30,192.168.1.9
