[Dnsmasq-discuss] adding domain suffix search to dns forward

[Donald Muller]

That is a DHCP option that is passed to the DHCP client. It is up to the client to add the suffix to its DNS requests.

Subject: [Dnsmasq-discuss] adding domain suffix search to dns forward

Hi All,

Is there a way to get dnsmasq to provide additional search domain suffix to an 'A' query and forward that query to any number of added search domains.

Seems like dhcp-option would be the right place per [0]

"DHCP option 15: specifies the domain name that client should use as suffix when resolving hostnames via the Domain Name System"

However, when doing a dig/nslookup using a shortname and looking at the dnsmasq.log it doesn't seem to add the domain suffix.

Am I missing something here?

Maybe dhcp-option is only for dhcp requests and not implied for dns forward.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave
