[Dnsmasq-discuss] Using dhcp-host hostname as address for DNS

[Alvaro Gamez]

Uh, I was asking because that didn't work :)

Without the address line:

root at alfa:/etc/dnsmasq.d# grep zulu radio
#address=/zulu.ea4rct.org/192.168.0.254
dhcp-host=00:18:84:12:7e:10,zulu,192.168.0.254,1w
root at alfa:/etc/dnsmasq.d# !hos
host zulu.ea4rct.org
Host zulu.ea4rct.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

With it:
root at alfa:/etc/dnsmasq.d# grep zulu radio
address=/zulu.ea4rct.org/192.168.0.254
dhcp-host=00:18:84:12:7e:10,zulu,192.168.0.254,1w
root at alfa:/etc/dnsmasq.d# host zulu.ea4rct.org
zulu.ea4rct.org has address 192.168.0.254

Thanks!
