Hi -- I'm new to dnsmasq. I've read through the docs but not yet configured the service for my environment. I'll be using dnsmasq to manage dhcp and dns for a small network.
I've got a simple question but wasn't able to figure out the answer from the docs. I need all the locally managed dns names under the purview of dnsmasq to be resolvable at all times -- regardless of the state of the client dhcp transactions/nic. Is there a good pattern to do this without having to duplicate the host <-> ip address mapping information in more than one place …? eg: If I use a set of entries like this: dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, somedns, 10.10.1.1, 12h Will somedns always resolve to 10.10.1.1 (and the reverse resolution from 10.10.1.1 to somedns) even if the dhcp client with that mac address is offline and/or has never performed a dhcp request …? Hopefully my question is clear. Many thanks!
