[Dnsmasq-discuss] Mac Darwin confusion

On the MAC, try appending the FQDN prager.homeip.net to the hostname:
freyja.prager.homeip.net

If that points to the problem, I do not own an Apple MAC, so can not tell
you how to have it include domain name by default.

Also, trying pinging the IP directly.
