[Dnsmasq-discuss] dns server

[Thiago Farina]

Hi,

First of all, sorry for asking here in this mailing list. I tried to
find the answer googling for it, but failed.

I didn't find a way to search the archives of this mailing list
either, so hence I'm posting here.

I hope someone can help me.

This was probably asked and answered many times before, so if you have
points for it, please send it my way.

I'm trying to configure dnsmasq as my dns server in my home network.

I have a cisco dpc3825 router (ip 192.168.0.1) that connects to the
internet, an Ubuntu server where I want to run dnsmasq on ip
192.168.0.101, and a bunch of other machines in the network.

I know how to change the router to point to ubuntu server as a primary
dns. That is not the problem. The problem is the configuration of
dnsmasq.conf.

I have a nginx running and serving a static site on this ubuntu
server. What I want is that dnsmasq translate to the other machines in
my network when they type mydomain.org to the ip address of my ubuntu
server which is running nginx, so they should be able to see my site
in my local network.

I believe the configuration on the router should be something like:

Primary DNS: 192.168.0.101
Secondary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Ternary DNS: 8.8.4.4


But what about dnsmasq.conf? How should I configure it?

Currently it has the following content:
$ cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf
listen-address=127.0.0.1
