Hi,
I am using dnsmasq in the context of the virt-manager software. My server
contains the virtualization software, including dnsmasq. I have an issue when
client of dnsmasq (one of the virtual machines) tries to resolve the name of
the server. Because dnsmasq runs in the server and it reads the /etc/hosts
file, it returns 127.0.0.1 as the IP of the server, instead of the IP
associated to eth0. Is there an easy workaround to solve this issue?
I think that in general, dnsmasq should avoid replying 127.0.0.1 to remote
clients, or alternatively not to resolve hostname, even if it is
in /etc/hosts.
Regards,
Enrique
