[Dnsmasq-discuss] DHCP Clients not being registered in DNS

[Andrew Miskell]

Hi,

I’m trying to setup a dnsmasq server (version 2.79 on Ubuntu 18.10) for DNS and DHCP to replace the horrible DNS/DHCP service built into the AT&T Fiber gateways. I've gotten everything configured and I have a client pulling a DHCP address but I’m not able to resolve it’s name in DNS using dnsmasq as the name server. I can resolve entries in the /etc/hosts file without any issues.

From what I can tell, the DHCP client name is being passed successfully from the client to the server (as it’s visible in the dnsmasq.leases file).

I’ve included my current configuration below, am I missing some configuration option that enables DHCP clients to register themselves into dnsmasq ’s DNS?
