[Dnsmasq-discuss] Setting a DNS server via DHCP

[Alberto Cuesta-Canada]

Hi guys,
 
I'm trying to assign a particular DNS servers via DHCP, which should be with the line
 
dhcp-option=option:router,1.2.3.4
 
All my machines have infinite leases already, but I guess that when they restart they should renew them anyway, and with that get the new DNS server. I've tried with both ubuntu and windows 2008 and both of them keep the ip for the dhcp server after restarting, instead of the one described in dnsmasq.conf.
 
Can you see if I'm doing anything wrong? should I force the leases to expire in a different way?
 
Many thanks,
