[Dnsmasq-discuss] Hostnames not being added to dnsmasq.leases file

[Jason Baker]

I have DNSMASQ configured to run on a CentOS 4 server. It is acting as 
both the DNS and DHCP server. All is working fine, except that when I 
connect another linux machine to the network, the host name on the 
client machine doesn't show up in the dnsmasq.leases file. Instead I get:

    1166770800 00:14:22:9b:10:47 172.16.41.40 * *

Because of the above, I cannot ping the linux machine by machine name. 
When I plug a Windows XP machine into the network I get correct hostname 
resolution

    1166770990 00:16:17:a8:c4:23 172.16.189.188 pommel 01:00:16:17:a8:c4:23

In this case, I can ping the machine named "pommel". The linux machines 
host file is:

    127.0.0.1 MYLINUXBOX    localhost       localhost.localdomain

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Below is the settings in my 
dnsmasq.conf file.

    dnsmasq.conf
    domain-needed
    bogus-priv
    interface=eth0
    expand-hosts
    domain=mydomain.com
    dhcp-range=172.16.0.0,172.16.255.255,168h
    dhcp-option=1,255.255.0.0
    dhcp-option=3,172.16.0.1
    dhcp-option=6,172.16.0.1
    dhcp-option=28,172.16.255.255
    dhcp-lease-max=500
    dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
    dhcp-authoritative
