Hello All,

I have been trying to figure out how I can use dnsmasq as a dns server  
(shock) to serve A,PTR,NS,TXT, etc entries for a local domain..

I have it working as a dhcp server, but can not seem to make it serve  
correctly..

egrep -v "^#|dhcp" dnsmasq.conf

bind-interfaces
cache-size=1024
domain-needed
domain=at.home
except-interface=lo0
filterwin2k
group=nobody
interface=fxp0
log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log
no-negcache
resolv-file=/usr/local/etc/resolv.conf
user=nobody

address=/gw.at.home/172.16.64.1
ptr-record=gw.at.home,172.16.64.1

####
(dnsmasq is running on the 172.16.64.25 host)

host 172.16.64.1 172.16.64.25
Using domain server:
Name: 172.16.64.25
Address: 172.16.64.25#53
Aliases:

Host 1.64.16.172.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


####

When I had tinydns serving authorative data I had these entries..

#server=/64.16.172.in-addr.arpa/127.53.0.1
#server=/at.home/127.53.0.1

and all worked.

what am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
