Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Why not add md5's?
Robert Diamond wrote: Was working on a series of script to auto-check websites for updates of "important" and "world/internet accessible" servers I'm running on my box. During the process I noticed dnsmasq's website doesn't have any md5sums (or other forms of data verification; ie: sha1sum, pgp sigs). Don't know if others are interested in having this, but it shouldn't be hard to automate the process on the website :) Well, automation on the website will be a first ;-) I'm happy to do this, in principle. Why don't you contact me off-list and we'll work something out. Cheers, Simon.

For the others it assigns an IP from the dhcp-range and complains about not being able to assign the hostname, because it's present in /etc/hosts and has different IP assigned. Am I missing something? The /etc/hosts entries will not, by themselves, be used to allocate fixed IP addresses to DHCP clients. It's fine to put 1.2.3.4somename in /etc/hosts, and then just put dhcp-host=somename in /etc/dnsmasq.conf _as_long_as_ a hostname has only one address in /etc/hosts. I think you are implying that your DHCP clients can turn up on more than one network: If so, don't use /etc/hosts at all, and do dhcp-host=somename,1.2.3.4 dhcp-host=somename,10.20.30.40 That gives dnsmasq the ability to pick the address on the correct subnet, and adjust the view in DNS accordingly.

Also, on my client, -h means send the hostname TO the dhcp server. You need the client to send a hostname to the server. My best guess is that the client does NOT send the hostname TO the server. It currently accepts a hostname sent BY the server to the client.
