[Dnsmasq-discuss] can dnsmasq be used for ...

I'm a sysadmin with a request from a developer and PM and ... can
dnsmasq help out?


1. Create a static URL / DNS ( foo1.company.com ) that redirects to (
bar1.site.eu.company.com ).

2. When the resource at bar1.site.eu.company.com changes it's URL (not
often but often enough to be annoying) to bar2.eu.company.com edit the
redirect, leaving the static URL alone.   External resources don't
need to know, or care, that what's behind foo1.company.com is called
something else, now.

There would be a dozen or so of these on a one-to-one relationship

foo1 > bar1
foo2 > bar2
foo3 > bar3

And so on.

3. It's a long story (politics) but we can't simply edit this in the
company's DNS and call it a day.  We've got an F5 LTM but expanding
that is expensive, and we're going for 'cheap if we can'.

4. Is this a task dnsmasq can handle?

Thanks in advance for your time,
