[Dnsmasq-discuss] Gateway ip address

[Samuel Martín Moro]

I'm not sure how Synology firmware works.
adding 'dhcp-option=3,gateway.ip.address' to your confguration file would do
it.
of course, you can specify your internet box as the gateway.
or you can give your own address, but then, you'ld need to route your
network traffic (iptables may be installed too).

have you a shell access to the NAS? or do you configure dnsmasq through some
web interface?
you would also need two network interfaces, two IPs, two distinct networks
(local/provider's box if kept as router, or local/internet if the box is
configured as bridge)
I bought a Qnap TS-509P a few months ago, in order to do that.
Watching their linux booting was a pain in the ass (dunno what they put in
it, obviously too much...).
Also, having 5*2t disks, I was interested by ZFS (RAID-Z).
The thing beeing those NAS usually have a 128/256/512M flash memory, and I
didn't want to loose space on my disks to setup an OS.
So I'm using mfsBSD, which rely on mfsroot. the system is wrote once on the
flash, I update the configuration files before reboot. everything else is
loaded into memory (mdevices).

Well... My point is, you may be able to do it (assuming you've iptables and
an ssh/telnet access).
But if you want to use your NAS as *the* router for your local network, you
may want to install an OS that can do it right...


otherwise/tl;dr: dhcp-option=3,providers.box.ip.address
