So I have to give...
Different answer: maybe
In fact this is what I've done with 'dhcpd.lrp' and 'dnsmasq.lrp'
/etc/dhcpd.conf contains:
+++++++
default-lease-time 1728000;
max-lease-time 3456000;
allow unknown-clients;
allow bootp;
allow booting;
option routers 192.168.1.254;
option domain-name "maison.mrs";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.254;
option ntp-servers 192.168.1.254;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.200;
}
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
host host01 { hardware ethernet 00:50:bf:27:b6:c6; }
host host02 { hardware ethernet 00:00:21:2c:c2:61; }
}
++++++
and /etc/dnsmasq.conf contains:
++++++
resolv-file=/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf
++++++
This is being done with Bering-uClibc V2.0 (soon V2.1) but I don't know:
- if this is a corner case which may disappear in the future
- if 'dnsmasq.lrp' would be the appropriate package for the intial question
