I am not certain when this started happening, but for some reason dnsmasq is not forwarding requests for the domain names that I have specified, to my server. It used to work perfectly in the past, so I am wondering what is causing the problem -- I haven't tinkered with the config for quite some time.
My dnsmasq.conf (certain things have been blocked out):
Code:
domain-needed
bogus-priv
filterwin2k

----
address=/a/192.168.xxx.xxx
address=/b/192.168.xxx.xxx
address=/c/192.168.xxx.xxx
address=/d/192.168.xxx.xxx
----

interface=eth1
dhcp-range=192.168.0.100,192.168.0.200,12h
dhcp-host=00:11:22:33:44:55,spark,192.168.xxx.xxx
dhcp-host=00:22:33:44:55:66,spectator,192.168.xxx.xxx
dhcp-host=00:33:44:55:66:77,spork,192.168.xxx.xxx
dhcp-option=42,192.168.xxx.xxx
dhcp-option=44,192.168.xxx.xxx
dhcp-boot=/tftpd/pxelinux.0
dhcp-lease-max=150
dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
dhcp-authoritative
log-queries

When pointing a browser (any browser) to http://a or http://b or http://c or http://d, it seems to send all requests to the public DNS, which eventually time out, not to my local web server.
Nothing seems to show up in the everything logfile, so I don't know what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can simple add this to your /etc/hosts:
Code:
192.168.1.1 a
192.168.1.2 b
192.168.1.3 c

Well, I've made a little progress; it seems that any address used without some sort of an extension get skipped, ie. 'http://foobar/' won't work, but 'http"//foobar.com/' will get forwarded to the local http server.
Addresses w/o extensions (http://foobar/) used to work, but now they don't. Any ideas as to why this might be?

put

search mydomain.com

in /etc/resolv.conf

Then

foobar

Will be searched for as "foobar.mydomain.com"

Not sure if that helps.

Thanks for your help; it seems though that the problem isn't even directly linux related: it seems to be Windows XP x64...it doesn't seem to like domains without an extension (.com, .net, etc.), however plain old XP (32bit) handles them just fine.
