[Dnsmasq-discuss] Can I serve two different DHCP domains from a single dnsmasq server?

[Alberto Cuesta-Canada]

Hi all,
 
does anyone know if it is possible to send via DHCP hostnames in two different domains from a single dnsmasq server?
 
It should be something like:
 
domain=foo,192.168.0.0/24
domain=bar,192.168.1.0/24
 
dhcp-range=foo-range,192.168.0.0,192.168.0.255,infinite
dhcp-range=bar-range,192.168.1.0,192.168.1.255,infinite
 
dhcp-host=02:00:0A:00:00:00,net:foo-range,host1,192.168.0.1,static
dhcp-host=02:00:0A:00:10:00,net:bar-range,host2,192.168.1.1,static
 
So what I would have is that host1 would get the fqdn host1.foo and the 192.168.0.1 address, while host2 would be host2.bar and get the 192.168.1.1 address.
 
Many thanks,

  This may be a dumb question, but I'm no wiser after skimming the man
page and experimenting a little...

I have a development box I'm using to develop some virtual host stuff.
I'd like to set up a wildcard subdomain for it. Essentially
<anything>.dev.foo.bar would resolve to dev.foo.bar's IP address
(assigned by DHCP). Its IP address does move on occasion, just often
enough to be irritating/fragile to use an IP directly.

For now, I've worked around it by adding 'address=/dev.foo.bar/<current
IP addr>' to the config, but that's fragile and seems like a bad idea. I
could give the box a static IP I suppose, but I much prefer keeping the
number of static assignments to a minimum. Plus it's a laptop, so I'd
keep it configured for DHCP and set up a static DHCP assignment based on
MAC address. Somehow none of this feels very satisfying, just workarounds.

Is there a better way I've missed? If not, is there a reason dnsmasq
doesn't do this? would it be hard to add? (perhaps support wildcards for
cname?)
