[Dnsmasq-discuss] Does dnsmasq support cname within same domain?

[Donald Muller]

Sorry there was a cut and paste mistake on my part. It should be

cname=alias.test.example.com<http://alias.test.example.com>,alias.dummy.example.com<http://alias.dummy.example.com>,client1.test.example.com<http://client1.test.example.com>

What if you try

cname=alias.test.example.com<http://alias.test.example.com>,client1.test.example.com<http://client1.test.example.com>,alias.dummy.example.com<http://alias.dummy.example.com>,client1.test.example.com<http://client1.test.example.com>

Does it work?

No, dnsmasq fails to start, with "CNAME loop" error.

Can anyone try to add cname for same domain, and see if it works for you?
Assuming your dhcp domain is internal.yourcompany.com<http://internal.yourcompany.com>, with an existing dhcp client client1, please add
cname=testalias.internal.yourcompany.com<http://testalias.internal.yourcompany.com>,client1.internal.yourcompany.com<http://client1.internal.yourcompany.com>
and check if testalias.internal.yourcompany.com<http://testalias.internal.yourcompany.com> resolves?

Thanks!
Frank
