I wasn't sure how you set up your systems, so I gave a (possible) solution with dnsmasq on the clients and one without. > Furthermore, although the man page does talk about lots of command-line > options I expect these can all be handled via the config file, which is > what I'm trying to do. I looked for "man dnsmasq.conf" but it doesn't seem to exist. You can override the Fedora-supplied dnsmasq.service with a systemd drop-in. I've just downloaded and expanded the dnsmasq rpm. Going through "/etc/dnsmasq.conf", IIUC, for my previous example: server=/poc/192.168.1.111 server=/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.1.111 local=/poc/ > Thanks again.
