[Dnsmasq-discuss] multiple host names?

[Bill C. Riemers]

The easiest way is to use the address directive in the dnsmasq.conf
file.   e.g.

address=/dd-wrt.local/dd-wrt/gateway.local/gateway/192.168.1.1

The disadvantages of address directives is that the dnsmasq.conf file is
not automatically re-read when you update it.   But the address feature
is particularly useful on DD-WRT devices, because the hosts file will be
overwritten each reboot.

Note:  A reverse dns lookup will not return multiple entries.  e.g.

[docbill at hartnell ~]$ nslookup 192.168.1.1
Server:        192.168.1.1
Address:    192.168.1.1#53

1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa    name = dd-wrt.local.
[docbill at hartnell ~]$
