[Dnsmasq-discuss] (no subject)

[Eric Vance]

I'm using dnsmasq on an OpenWRT Router.

I have the following set in /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

local-ttl=0
cache-size=0

I believe that tells the client not to cache the dns (which I've confirmed)
and it tells dnsmasq to not cache responses.

Let's say I have this entry in my /etc/hosts file:

 192.168.1.1    mydomain.com

I have a cron job that changes this entry to this:

 192.168.1.44    mydomain.com

After the entry is changed in the hosts file I run this to hup:

 kill -1 `pidof dnsmasq`;

>From my testing, after I change the ip and run the hup it takes about 30 -
60 seconds until the domain resolves to 192.168.1.44.  So, even after I
make the change the name still resolves to 192.168.1.1 for a minute.

What am I doing wrong?  Is there a better way to do this?  Is there a
better way to Hup?  Am I missing an important setting?  Any help or
suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Eric
