<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I should have been more specific. Is there a
way to do it in conjunction with a dhcp-host line? I do NOT, in
fact, give the host I'm referring to a consistent address.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was just wondering if there was some option
elsewhere or using that address directive (but without specifying a specific
IP).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>The easiest way is to use the address directive in the
dnsmasq.conf<BR>file.
e.g.<BR><BR>address=/dd-wrt.local/dd-wrt/gateway.local/gateway/192.168.1.1<BR><BR>The
disadvantages of address directives is that the dnsmasq.conf file is<BR>not
automatically re-read when you update it. But the address
feature<BR>is particularly useful on DD-WRT devices, because the hosts file
will be<BR>overwritten each reboot.<BR><BR>Note: A reverse dns lookup
will not return multiple entries. e.g.<BR><BR>[docbill@hartnell ~]$
nslookup 192.168.1.1<BR>Server:
192.168.1.1<BR>Address:
192.168.1.1#53<BR><BR>1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa name =
dd-wrt.local.<BR>[docbill@hartnell ~]$<BR><BR><BR>Bill<BR><BR><BR>AJ Weber
