[Dnsmasq-discuss] Different DHCP options offered to different static IP assignments on the same network?

[Simon Kelley]

If you don't want to supply the hostname via the DHCP client, dnsmasq 
can handle that too.

dhcp-host=11:22:33:44:55:66,set:vpnroute,10.10.1.20,myhostname

will allow dnsmasq to recognise a client by MAC address, give it the 
special default route, give it a static IP address and put that IP 
address and the host's name in (dnsmasq's version of) the DNS.

Since, unless you tell it otherwise, dnsmasq suplies its own address as 
the DNS server in DHCP replies, all your DHCP clients should then see 
myhostname at 10.10.1.20 in the DNS.


Cheers,

Simon.
