That would be a nice feature. dns-use-dhcp-hosts? > I use a script to keep /etc/hosts in sync with > (dhcp-hostsfile=)/etc/dnsmasq.hosts because I want to be able to > ping/nmap any statically DHCPed machine. I maintain a small database of systems and generate the DNS/DHCP info. It used to generate dhcp.conf, named.conf, domain, doman.rev but now it generates dnsmasq.conf, dnsmasq_dhcp and dnsmasq_hosts. Still the generated files need to be distributed to there's always a possibility of the _hosts and _dhcp files to get out of sync. On a aside note: dnsmasq can poll /etc/resolv.conf for updates, why not poll the other relevant files (see SIGHUP) as well? -- Johan
