 |
|
I have a lan with a gateway/dhcp/samba server, now I want to switch to use dnsmasq as a name/dhcp server, so I have these in my dnsmasq.conf
| Code: |
domain-needed
bogus-priv
no-resolv
no-poll
server=61.155.5.6
server=122.200.77.34
local=/mylan.com/
interface=enp5s0
domain=mylan.com,192.168.0.0/24
dhcp-range=192.168.0.20,192.168.0.240,12h
cache-size=4096
no-negcache
log-dhcp
|
and this in my /etc/hosts
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
192.168.0.1 server.mylan.com
|
if I add some dummy server to dnsmasq like address=/dummy.mylan.com/192.168.0.x, then I can nslookup the dummy or dummy.mylan.com, and also can ping these two hosts.
but my server's name is server, and I can nslookup server.mylan.com or nslookup server, both will give me correct ip address of 192.168.0.1, but I can not ping the server.mylan.com, the ping command on windows give me this
| Code: |
Ping request could not find host server.mylan.com. Please check the name and try again.
|
so what's wrong with my config? my server's ip address are static to 192.168.0.1, how can I both ping server and server.mylan.com?

got it!
the /etc/hosts file can only have the hostname part, so hosts file can only have
192.168.0.1 server
and can not use the fqdn name in hosts file
then add a address line to dnsmask.conf like
address=/server.mylan.com/192.168.0.1
then this will allow ping both server and server.mylan.com
