</div></div>The hosts(5) file format is far simpler than a DNS zone file or a<br>
dnsmasq(8) config file. "IP.add.re.ss name [alias ...]". dnsmasq<br>
assumes that the presence of a hosts listing for IP.add.re.ss means<br>
that you want a PTR for "ss.re.add.IP.in-addr.arpa." to have that<br>
name. You can't put any specific DNS records in there; it's the job<br>
of dnsmasq to translate hosts into DNS.<br></blockquote><div><br>Cool, thanks ! Then I guess the --ptr-record option is for the dnsmasq config file instead. <br></div></div>
