[Dnsmasq-discuss] syntax for cname= unclear

[Olaf Hering]

The dnsmasq man page has no specific example for cname=, it is unclear what target really has to be. A more specific example exists for host-record=.

With the config snippet below the cnames are not known. Commands like 'host cname1 $ip_of_dnsmasq_host' work, but 'host cname1.dnsdomain $ip_of_dnsmasq_host' returns NXDOMAIN. Is the used syntax for "cname=" correct?

This happens with dnsmasq 2.78, which can not be easily upgraded.

Thanks,
Olaf
