dnsmasq on AC68U

[squirrellydw]

How can I add this to my router, I think I need to use dnsmasq and not sure how or if I can.

Router is AC68U with Merlin

You need a /jffs/configs/hosts.add file.

thanks but confused in how and what I add? Also from reading that like it seems like hosts.postconf would be safer and easier but still confused in what I add. Any chance you or someone could give me a example based on what I have above?

You could use a postconf, but postconf files are scripts. So you would have to write a script to manipulate the file.

For what you want it would be easier to use a hosts.add file which just adds those lines of text onto the end of the existing hosts file.

ok but how do I add/write this. I have no idea how to do it, could you help me out please.

Install WinSCP and use the post below as a guide.

Substitute hosts.add for the dnsmasq.conf.add used in the example. And of course put your 2 lines in the file rather than the "cname=" line used in the example.

Ok, I use a Mac usually but I think I have a PC laying around that I can use so I will try it when I get home. But all I need to do is

name it - hosts.add
and then add this??

IP NAME
