Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] How to Add max-ttl in DNSMASQ

[Petr Menšík]

Any command line parameters are accepted as options in config file
without leading --. max-ttl=x can be used just like local-ttl=x.
dnsmasq.conf does not include all supported options, just add it
anywhere you want. To the beginning or to the end or to
/etc/dnsmasq.d/ttl.conf, does not matter.

It is supported when it is in the manual page. Just omit -- in conf file.

Cheers,
Petr

ok, I have installed dnsmasq version 2.76 on centOS 7. what will be the command 
to execute to configure max ttl? I see in the dnsmasq.conf file there is only 
the local-ttl option.

Hello Omair,

dnsmasq 2.48 in RHEL6 is quite old and does not contain support for max-ttl. 
That was added in dnsmasq 2.53 and would be present in RHEL7 if you can 
consider upgrade. Even that version is receiving only important updates and is 
also rock-stable. I am afraid no supported parameter has the same effect. Only 
local-ttl and neg-ttl are supported for adjusting TTL in 2.48.

Other option would be building your own build of dnsmasq, where you could build 
something more recent. RHEL6 would not receive any updates except critical bugs 
and security issues, it won't change in the distribution.

Best Regards,
Petr

[Dnsmasq-discuss] How to Add max-ttl in DNSMASQ

[OMair Siddiquii]

Hi,

I am trying to add the max-ttl= parameter within the DNSMASQ config file but 
unfortunately when I'm starting the dnsmasq service it fails to start the 
dnsmasq process. I am following the document mention in the link below. I am 
using DNSMASQ version 2.48 "Dnsmasq version 2.48  Copyright (C) 2000-2009 Simon 
Kelley". I also tried version 2.85 but it didnt work either. I would really 
appreciate any help.
