[Dnsmasq-discuss] Redirect internal non existent hosts

[Nikita N.]

Hi Robert,
if that can be of help, Im doing like that in my dnsmasq.conf
[...]
address=/mysite1.mydomain.com/192.168.0.2
address=/mysite2.mydomain.com/192.168.0.3
address=/#/192.168.0.1
[...]
if its not mysite1 or mysite2, all the rest goes to 192.168.0.1 :)
Regards,
