Redirect all DNS-Requests with dnsmasq

  • 772

I have following scenario: I have set up an ad-hoc network with wicd on my server, and use dnsmasq as an dhcp- and dns-server. The network works very well, I can connect, get an ip address, and on all clients the nameserver is set to the IP of my server. But I want that all dns request of the clients are resolved to my local server which runs an apache webserver. Is this possible with dnsmasq?

  1. The primary options to use in the conf file for this would be:

    address=/#/10.6.66.1
interface=vlan9

    Yes!

    I use it this way:

    /usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq -z -k -2 -i vlan9 -a 10.6.66.1 \
--address=/\#/10.6.66.1

    10.6.66.1 is the IP address it returns.

    UPDATE Yes, # is a wildcard. You can specify multiple with --address
