I want to set up a local dnsmasq server to resolve local hostnames on my LAN. I'm not (for the moment) concerned with DHCP, just DNS. I'd like to do this without defining a local doman, so that host foo just resolves to foo's IP address. The dnsmasq.conf file appears to allow this because defining a local domain is optional, however it isn't working for me: $ grep foo /etc/hosts 192.168.1.73 foo $ dig foo ; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P2-RedHat-9.10.3-7.P2.fc23 <<>> foo ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 37194 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;foo. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: foo. 30 IN A nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (That IP corresponds to some random host somewhere, nothing to do with me). No doubt this is something very stupid but a hint would be appreciated. Note that I have blocked DNS referrals for unqualified names (option domain-needed) poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
