[Dnsmasq-discuss] Using a variable in the address option in dnsmasq.conf
Is it possilbe to set a variable and then use it as follows? or is there a way to set and use a variable in the conf file for address entries? myip=10.0.1.6 address=/2o7.net/$myip address=/2mdm.net/$myip instead of address=/2o7.net/10.0.1.6 address=/2mdm.net/10.0.1.6 ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
[Dnsmasq-discuss] Can dnsmasq capture DHCP traffic and update its leases table?
I need a leases table that is as up to date as possible for my local network. I do not however have any access the the DHCP server on the network to get its leases table. I’m wondering if there is a way to configure dnsmasq so that it records all broadcast dhcp traffic that it sees, and updates it leases table. That way I will have a local copy of the leases table that has been built up by watching DHCP traffic. Is that possible with dnsmasq? If yes, how? If not, can anyone suggest a lightweight alternative way to do that without resorting to something heavyweight like networking monitoring with wireshark? thanks Andrew ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss

In that case then, this sounds perfect to meet my needs. > (or maybe dyn-0. Do we want this one-based or zero-based? Having a > choice is NOT an option) I think I'd want dyn-1 personally, but don't feel particularly strongly about it either way to be honest. Thanks.
