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

A quick test of the current development code fails to reproduce this, 
which is puzzling.


One thing to check:  having a dhcp-host line which associates an address 
with a name is not enough to make this work: there needs to be an active 
DHCP lease in place to be able to resolve client1.test.example.com. If 
leases are coming and going, that can be enough to confuse tests.


Do you see the same effect if you use host-record to define the address 
of client1?
