[Dnsmasq-discuss] weird dnsmasq behaviour

Tue Oct 15 11:32:32 BST 2013

Does this fix that the CNAME also append the domain or do I understand CNAME syntax incorrect.

My example.
# SmartPhone, HTC HD2
dhcp-host=00:23:76:8f:14:79,192.168.10.50,"SP-HD2"
cname="HD2","SP-HD2"

I can lookup HD2 but I can't lookup HD2.EXAMPLE.COM
As workaround I changed the cname to:
cname="HD2.EXAMPLE.COM","SP-HD2"

Now I can do both because HD2 results in NXDOMAIN so the OS does a second lookup with the domain name.

Greats,

René van Dorst
