Hi Albert, thank you for replying. I have access to the source code of the router and all it's internals.
I can download the source code of dnsmasq, compile and build it for the router(not on the router) but I need to run the dnsmasq as a service which I can't do on mipsel-linux because it doesn't contain anything equivalent to "service". So I'm generating the binary on a ubuntu(16.04 LTS) system and using that in the router running mipsel-linux. On the ubuntu system, when I run dnsmasq with add-mac in the configuration, I'm able to see EDNS0 option in the dns query. This is happening only when I installed and run dnsmasq from apt-get. When I tried to compile it and run it from the same configurations, I'm not able to see the EDNS0 option. Now I'm left with two things, one is to install dnsmasq from the apt-get on mipsel-linux which is not possible because it does not have apt-get or any other package manager and the second option being to compile the source for the router. So for now, I want to compile the dnsmasq source code on my ubuntu system or for the router, not from the apt-get, and want the EDNS0 option in the dns query. ________________________________ From: Albert ARIBAUD <albert.arib...@free.fr> Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 7:14:08 PM To: Rahul Jain Cc: dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk Subject: Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Dnsmasq-discuss Digest, Vol 138, Issue 13 Hi Rahul, Le Tue, 22 Nov 2016 05:51:17 +0000 Rahul Jain <rahul2...@outlook.com> a écrit: > Hi, thank you for the insight.

Ok, so IIUC, you do not have access to the source code of the system installed on your router, and especially you do not have access to the source code and build instructions to rebuild your router's dnsmasq. But you do have access to the router's filesystem, right? So you can inspect its services scripts and find out what it does and why the add-mac option is not passed to dnsmasq. Amicalement, -- Albert.
