I'm outside my area of expertise here, but I have a feeling that what you are trying to do needs dynamic-DNS support in the DNS server. Ie the ability for client to add/alter DNS records. Dnsmasq doesn't provide that facility. Adding it would be a major undertaking. > Any suggestions? I'd prefer to keep the > host pointing at the WRT54GL as its primary DNS server. Use server=/<domain>/<server> to forward the domain in question to a DNS server which supports dynamic-DNS. dnsmasq should have no problems _forwarding_ DNS-update requests, even if it cannot act on them.
