    Elimating redirects/hairpining by using L3 switch as gateway?

    Yes that should work fine - as I can spec dnsmasq for multiple scopes. Thanks for helping me think this through.

    Elimating redirects/hairpining by using L3 switch as gateway?

    Okay - so essentially you suggest that I create a separate network for the router using VLAN separation - which I can understand, as it will make it functionally cleaner. I don't see why I need to move DHCP though - after all DHCP relay is a thing -- so presumably I can use that instead --...

    Elimating redirects/hairpining by using L3 switch as gateway?

    Hi - I have the following topology: Two networks, with the wired span hanging off a Cisco SG300, cable router running OpenWRT and DHCP and a separate Wireless LAN (routed so that I can control traffic flow between wired lan and wireless devices). On the wired side the router has a route for...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    Yes, the next step will be to try and get mDNS working and fed via DNSmasq - however, that's for the future. The actual simplest solution would be to use DHCP relay, sending all queries up to the 'border router' in that picture. Unfortunately, it looks like this might break more than it would...

    dnsmasq no-resolv config option

    Hi - just wondered if you ever found a workaround for this - I'm finding that the DNS servers of the VPN provider are being added also.

    No way to set ntp_server1 via GUI

    As above - there is no way of setting a value for ntp_server1 via the UI. The default value is time.nist.gov. At one point this didn't matter as this field was never needed (the only reference to this setting I can find states that it isn't used - but that's from back in 2014). However, as of...

    dnsmasq making requests via VPN tunnel

    Just verifying that i'm still seeing this issue. dnsmasq is apparently picking up one of the VPN tunnels DNS server and forwarding queries to it. However it appears to be doing it via the IP address associated with the routers normal interfaces, and so doesn't get a reply (i have filters...

    dnsmasq making requests via VPN tunnel

    I have an ASUS with multiple VPN tunnels set up - in each case the VPN tunnel provides the address of a VPNreachable DNS server on connection time (which is just a DNS server running on the other side of the VPN server) though I had assumed that this would normally be ignored. The DNS settings...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    Yep. Absolutely. I have a couple of desktops and laptops, a couple of servers (PLEX, NAS and a few other things), and then differing requirements for phones/tablets vs embedded streaming devices connected to the TV and speakers. I think it's probably more devices than some folk have - but otoh...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    A number of reasons. I want to segregate embedded devices (streamers and so on) from the rest of the network to give me some level of control over the types of access they have (i'm using vpns on the asus to redirect some of these elsewhere). I have a proper switch on the spine of my network...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    No, not quite. In my case the 'WAN' side of the asus is just a name. It connects to the rest of my network, all of which is private. The actual WAN boundary is my DSL device (which does NAT once on the boundary of my network), internally i have separate subnets using private address space and...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    My network is like this (simplified - there are more lans/devices) [DSL]----[Router]-------[ASUS]----WIRELESS LAN (.wlan) | Wired LAN (.lan) Only the Asus knows the mappings for .wlan (as it serves up its DHCP addresses), i'm trying to find a mechanism...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    Well, actually in my setup I have dnsmasq on the asus serving up an upstream DNS server via DHCP as the DNS server for the local network it manages. As the asus is the only thing that knows the bindings for the hosts/ips it manages, i'm trying to get it to serve as a dns server for the internal...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    Not sure what you mean? 'normally' a router just routes between two networks, there isn't any directionality implied necessarily. I already have static routes pointing back to the subnet served by the asus - I just need to know how to enabled dnsmasq to listen for dns queries on the outgoing...

    'Local' dns served over wan port

    Hi - In my setup I have an asus device inside my network - on a separate subnet. Is it possible to get asuswrt to answer dnsqueries from the 'wan' side - the idea is that it will serve to look up names within the subnet it manages.
