NOTESWhen it receives a SIGHUP, *dnsmasq *clears its cache and then re-loads */etc/hosts* and */etc/ethers *and any file given by --dhcp-hostsfile, --dhcp-optsfile or --addn-hosts. The dhcp lease change script is called for all existing DHCP leases. If *--no-poll* is set SIGHUP also re-reads * /etc/resolv.conf.* SIGHUP does NOT re-read the configuration file. > > have a look: http://bit.ly/9D2JzU http://bit.ly/a7DJ1e > > Though i strongly suggest you to make dnsmasq give ip addresses based on > macaddress (For security reasons...) > > > 2010/10/13 Mark Goldman <[email protected]> > >> New user here, I spent several hours googling and came up empty handed. >> >> What I would like is for dnsmasq to hand out the ip address that is in >> /etc/hosts for any host that claims that hostid.
