 |
|
OK I have setup dnsmasq to act as my dhcp server and my dns server.
After checking the logs it seems that if i ask for a box that doesn't exist on my local domain dnsmasq will forward it to my ISP's supplied dns server.
How can I keep anything that asks for mydomain.com to say local and not go out?
in my dnsmasq.conf I have
| Code: |
local=/mydomain.com/192.168.0.0 |
set but I can see that it is still forwarded to my isp dns if the host names isn't found in my /etc/hosts.
Also do I have to keep an up-to-date hosts file on my server of the hosts and their addresses? Is there a way to have dhcp automatically add and delete hosts from the hosts file?

Drop the IP address. The local option doesn't use it.
Change the setting to:
| Code: | | local=/mydomain.com/ |
and try it again. |
