Hello folks,

I have been trying to configure a DNS caching server on my local network using dnsmasq. I was able to implement a caching server for external queries, but not able to get the DNS hostname updates coming from the dhcpd server.
My dnsmaq.conf:
-------------------------------------------------
strict-order
dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
log-queries
-------------------------------------------------

My dhcpd.conf:
-------------------------------------------------
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
ddns-update-style interim;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.100;
option routers 10.0.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
}
-------------------------------------------------

Any guesses?

AFAIK there is no such mechanism as dns update builtin dnsmasq *but* if you also use dnsmasq as the dhcpd on you LAN, then, you'll have hostname<-> resolution (at least for dhcp client sending their hostname)

Thanks truc for the reply!

I needed to confirm if such mechanism existed on dnsmasq.
Now, how can I get hostname resolution with dhcpd? is it the only why by setting a BIND dns server?

If you really have to stick with dhcpd(do you?), then you'll have to use a NS supporting dns updates, bind is one of those.
