I'm already using that setting. dnsmasq successfully forwards DNS LOOKUP requests for <domain> to <server>, but it does not seem to forward DNS REGISTRATION requests for <domain> to <server>. I haven't yet hooked tcpdump to verify this but since the host is not registered at <server>, I assume the registration request is not being forwarded. > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Kelley [mailto:si...@thekelleys.org.uk] > Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 2:09 AM > To: Joe.Kelly > Cc: dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk > Subject: [**SPAM**] Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] ipconfig > /registerdns and split DNS > > > Joe.Kelly wrote: > > Hi, > > > > > ***HOWEVER***, the "ipconfig /registerdns" command does NOT > seem to work > > if the host it is run on uses the WRT54GL as its DNS > server.
