    DNS server support for local name resolution

    Ah, that explains where the 10.0.0.1 address was coming from. It had me scratching my head while testing the router on an isolated LAN since my business LAN uses 10.0.0 address space. I was thinking it might be some sort of weird client IP address issue... This fix (+ others) will be...

    IPv6 DNS Forwarder

    The DNS (dnsmasq) implementation on the router needs a few changes that would greatly improve robustness and functionality for LAN clients. Here is what I found when testing: (1) If WAN link is down dnsmasq does not work :eek: (2) DNS registrations from clients w/static ip's are not...

    How best to configure for hosts that require static ip addresses?

    Thanks all. I'm debating whether to use for servers: (1) Router dhcp reservations (2) Static ip addesses + entries in the router hosts file (3) DNS/DHCP service on a server instead of the router. This would allow static ip addresses that automatically register with the DNS. I've never...

    How best to configure for hosts that require static ip addresses?

    What would be the best approach to support name resolution for servers on the LAN that require a static ip address, for example a file server? I ran a few tests to see if dnsmasq would accept a DNS registration transaction from a server on our LAN configured with a static ip address, and it...

    DNS server support for local name resolution

    Great thanks :) btw, just to keep this tip from an earlier post visible, a workaround that keeps DNS going when the WAN link is down is to simply configure the WAN interface with a bogus static IP address.

    DNS server support for local name resolution

    Very interesting. I would think that this issue is the result of a bug, not in dnsmasq itself, but in how it is implemented in the router firmware. Dnsmasq should definitely continue to answer DNS queries for DHCP configured hosts and for hosts in the /etc/hosts file regardless of the...

    DNS server support for local name resolution

    After resetting to defaults, configuring for my environment, then connecting to my cable modem I can report success :) I can also swap between the n66u and my ISA firewall without problems. The cable modem must be powered down before swapping. However, the issue where local DNS does not...
