Neither Google nor OpenDNS knows the names and addresses of your

address. This happens with my ubuntu server, and osx machines. My
windows laptop does not have an issue, and can ping other devices
by hostname.
As far as I can tell, all else is working properly. The devices
that are supposed to use OpenDNS are, and the ones that should use
google's dns are.
My setup:
* tomatousb on my router
* dnsmasq is version 2.61
* static dns set to the OpenDNS ips
* static ips assigned to the machines I want to use the google dns servers
* dynamic ips assigned to the machines to use the OpenDNS servers.
Set to the range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199
A style suggestion: I would use CIDR-style ranges rather than
decimal-style. For example, 192.168.1.128-196 can be addressed in a
single CIDR expression, 192.168.1.128/26.
Options set for dnsmasq:
# Range of IPs that are set up as static (computers that should
have unrestricted DNS)
dhcp-range=set:green,192.168.1.10,192.168.1.99
dhcp-option=net:green, 3, 192.168.1.1 #Assigns "green" gateway to
these clients
dhcp-option=net:green, 6, 8.8.8.8 #Assigns "green'" DNS server to
these clients (google).
Any ideas on what I need to do so that the devices in the ip range
192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.99 can use hostnames to connect to each
other? Is there any other information that is needed to understand
this issue?
Probably what you want to do is to use a different upstream server
for the big people and little people machines. And I know of no
trivial way to do that in a single instance of dnsmasq. It might
require two instances (one of them being DNS-only.) And I'm not sure
that would be easy, either.
This could be done with BIND named using views (and there too, you
would benefit from the above CIDR suggestion.) But then you wouldn't
have the ease of setup of dynamic DNS that dnsmasq offers.
Thanks for the clear response. I will have to see if there is some
other way to get to my desired end point.
