If i understand correctly, what you want to do is:<br><br>"Give the machine claiming name 'mike' the 10.10.10.1 address"<br><br>You can just add in /etc/hosts :<br><br>10.10.10.1 mike<br><br>and restart the service...<br>
<br>have a look: <a href="http://bit.ly/9D2JzU">http://bit.ly/9D2JzU</a> <a href="http://bit.ly/a7DJ1e">http://bit.ly/a7DJ1e</a><br><br>Though i strongly suggest you to make dnsmasq give ip addresses based on macaddress (For security reasons...)<br>

<p>New user here, I spent several hours googling and came up empty handed.</p>
<p>What I would like is for dnsmasq to hand out the ip address that is in /etc/hosts for any host that claims that hostid. I would like to avoid having a dhcp-host=name line for each host that is in /etc/hosts in addition to having the information in /etc/hosts.</p>
<p>If there is a better way to achieve this, I'm game for that too. I would like to have all this info localized.</p>
